    Snippet from above link^. If you don't have tweakui there is also a sublink included for getting it.

    The context menu items gray out if you remove any check mark on Tweak UI's My Computer tab. And the fix is simply to make sure every drive letter (from A: to Z:) listed on that tab has a check mark beside it. I first discovered the problem and its solution in 1998. During the year that followed, I tested fix instructions on several hundred Windows Insider users. The result is the revised instructions that follow, which will work for you.

    The easiest method for reinstating the Open and Explore items on your Start button's Context menu items requires Tweak UI. In case you no longer have Tweak UI installed on your system, I'm also providing a Registry-editing method.
