Windows 10 Right Click Menu (Open With missing)

[Bruce]

i guess you are up to the stage now where you either live with it and work around it or deem it’s annoying enough to go the next step.

yes, you can do a repair install of Win10 which just reloads the OS and leaves your files alone.
if you deem this step necessary, click Start and start typing reset, that’ll find Reset this PC which you click on to start the process.
you’ll have to reload your programs though.

no bother at all Roger, that’s the whole idea of the forum.
you learn, we learn, it’s a happy little merry-go-round of help.

bloody hell! - I have to find a CD/DVD to put in my drive now to test it for you (dude - who uses these things anymore? just kidding)

OK, with a DVD inserted, right clicking the Drive shows no Open With…
click on any of the files on the DVD does.

I always have Auto Play OFF but I can configure it to autoplay using a number of apps.

Open with does not appear with a dvd drive, or any drive for that matter. As far as I know its only available in the context menu when you right click a file which has an extension. I dont think there is anything amiss in your pc with “open with”

When DVD drive is right clicked
