OK thank you to @MadSystem for pointing me in the right direction. Checking out this thread: [Association .uproject / unreal are broken - Debugging, Optimization, & Profiling - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?109862-Association-uproject-unreal-are-broken)

As suggested in the bottom of the thread I manually copied the ‘UnrealVersionSelector.exe’ from ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64’ to the engine binaries folder: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE\_4.15\Engine\Binaries\Win64’

Then set the uproject file to associate with the newly placed ‘UnrealVersionSelector’. The right-click menu came back and I can finally rebuild Visual Studio project files. Yay!

Thanks!
