The properties for this item are not available on windows server 2016

Question

Hi,

Today we can't right click any file or icon on our windows server 2016, it always return the error "The properties for this item are not available". We want to know why this error would happen and how to fix it.

Answer 1

Some things to try;

• sfc /scannow
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
• try logging on as a new or another user
• repair install by running setup.exe from the root of install media

More than likely the quicker thing to do is standup a new one, patch it fully, migrate roles over and move on.
