CodePudding user response：

click Win R

write regedit.exe

navigate to this path in regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked.

Now, switch to the right-pane and create a new string value –

{596AB062-B4D2-4215-9F74-E9109B0A8153}

keep the second value from that window empty take a look on the reference website for more clarification

That's it

Delete these 4 registry keys. Preferably in a cmd window with admin privileges:

REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{596AB062-B4D2-4215-9F74-E9109B0A8153}" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{596AB062-B4D2-4215-9F74-E9109B0A8153}" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{596AB062-B4D2-4215-9F74-E9109B0A8153}" /f
REG DELETE "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{596AB062-B4D2-4215-9F74-E9109B0A8153}" /f

By the way, the fastest way to open a cmd with admin rights is:

1. Press Win
2. Type cmd
3. Press Ctrl Shirt Enter

Execute all 4 commands in there.

CodePudding user response：

Open cmd as administrator Type this

 vssadmin list shadows

In the output, you will see the list of restore points available on your device. Delete what you want through the command below

   vssadmin delete shadows /Shadow={shadow copy ID}

for example deleting a selected shaddow write the command as below

  vssadmin delete shadows /Shadow={0bf10824-d71f-47c4- 
  b888-33396d8koko}

That's it
