Wth is going on? Can't right click Desktop (crash)

[PANDA125]

Win 10 64bit
Nvidia GeForce GT 730

So, something's going on but I can't figure it out...

I googled similar instances but nada.

One of the explanations on why I kept crashing was because my graphics card driver wasn't updated.

Under device manager, my gfx card has a "!" mark on it (Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)), so updated through device manager but still experiencing the crash...

Then went to the Nvidia website and downloaded driver updates there. After installation was completed, it prompted me to restart. Then BAM! The restart ended up with a BSOD from a corrupted registry(is). It scared the shit out of me cause I thought this was gonna be a simple driver update and didn't expect my system to go down which would have lead to furious clients!

Few reboots later, I ran the system in Safe Mode, ran a System Restore and fixed/cleaned my registry via CCleaner.

My system is now running fine with the exception of the desktop + right-click crash.


Any ideas?



Best,

My first focus would be on the graphics card for two reasons.

One would be the "!" mark.

The other would be.....when you right click on the desktop....some of the options are directly connected to the graphics card.
