Hello,  look in the registry  the key  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell  in the shell menu you should have a key named - Device Manager and a subkey named - Command  In the subkey Command, you should have a default value which should be C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe /s C:\WINDOWS\system32\DevMgmt.msc  If it is not the case, you need to make the changes for it to work.

Hello Latifa,  I have serious doubts about the validity of the registry key you proposed. Moreover, it is always important to suggest backing up the registry and creating a restore point. You never know if something goes wrong. The Windows registry is not child’s play, especially for an average user.  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shellIn the shell menu, you should have a key named- Device Managerand a subkey named- CommandIn the subkey Command, you should have a default valuewhich should beC:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe /s C:\WINDOWS\system32\DevMgmt.msc   This is what I see:   Most commands are in English, which suggests that you copied and pasted from some website. Provide the official source of the site.  The same goes for the reg files to be created. I don’t think they should be written in French.  You can access Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button.   @jcp35440  Provide your version of W10 Press Windows + R and type ==►winver Provide your version in your next message. And make sure Windows Update is up to date.

Microsoft suggests:   It is likely because there has been "carnage" in the key:HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\commandThis CLSID corresponds to the computer, and the subkey "manage\command" is associated with the "Manage" item in the context menuThis key should have the default value: %SystemRoot%\system32\CompMgmtLauncher.exeIt has happened before that this executable (which launches the MMC) has been corrupted, or disappeared, or ...,A solution to remedy this is to simply replace it with the command line for the MMC, which is: %SystemRoot%\system32\MMC.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc  Source  A+ -- pistouri

Hello everyone, sorry for my absence, finally here it is thanks for the cmd code lines that I didn't know except for FSC. So the MMC is empty and the HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command, well I can't find it in the registry. Well, I'll try to decipher what you've sent me but I have some concerns, it's a bit too technical for me without the right procedure to follow. Thanks anyway.

Hi,  One of the causes of this problem may be QuickSFV when Windows performs a major update.  It also prevented me from opening certain items by right-clicking on the Start button.  When this happened to me, I removed QuickSFV from the "Explorer" shell with Autoruns, uninstalled QuickSFV, and reinstalled QuickSFV, and the problem was resolved.  If it’s not the QuickSFV shell, it could be another program.  See you later.
