I'm not sure if I should be posting this here, but I'm having a weird problem.
Randomly I am unable to right click desktop icons because whenever I do, a brief small window called "Windows Diagnostic messages" (WDM) pops up and quickly goes away, canceling whatever I originally right clicked.
Now I've ran malware scans and I'm clean. I can also see something about winrar in the WDM log before it quickly goes away.
So any ideas? This problem is more of an annoyance than anything else, if I repeatedly right click the icon I eventually get it but it's annoying and can become tedious fast.
Any help will be much appreciated. :thumb:

Sounds like it might be a registry issue where an improper registry entry messed up you right clicking UI. However, I have no idea what to do beyond that. Have you tried doing a restore to an earlier time before you started experiencing the issue?
Do you know when it started and what things you might have installed before this started to occur.

Hmmmmm, I could try a system restore and I'm not really sure what I downloaded that could of caused this.
I tried messing with it some more and noticed it says a bunch of things about winrar in the pop up before it disappears.

I tried reinstalling winrar again and it *almost* fixed my issue, now when it pops up it only has one line of message saying "wrong version of xz. Fmt module.

Sounds to me like winwar screwed up somewhere and is the source of the problems. Do you remember when you installed it?

A long time ago, like over a year.
