Since today I cannot open the Context Menu (right click) on the Windows 10 home screen.
When I right click, nothing happens. There are no errors.
How do I resolve this?

I tried a lot of solutions out there but this finally worked and well. Create a batch file that restarts your explorer process. Add a shortcut to it on your desktop so that when right (taskbar icons and area) and left click menus (Start Menu area) stop working just click the shortcut, and explorer restarts without needing a reboot.
@ECHO OFF
echo.
TASKKILL /F /IM explorer.exe
echo.
start explorer.exe
echo.
echo SUCCESS
echo.

2You should consider not submitting the exact same answer to multiple questions. The underline problem that causes this problem, cannot be solved, by simply restarting explorer.exe – Ramhound Oct 25 '16 at 19:52
