Right click
Nathan Sharpe | 16/06/2017 21:16:10 |
175 forum posts 3 photos | Can anyone help please? I'm a pump engineer NOT a computer geek so please do not doing a comparison between operating systems. I run my pc and her laptop on Win 10. My pc will no longer allow right click actions to take place , her laptop will. I have tried button priority with no positive result , I can see restore points but cannot reach them because they require RIGHT click. I am unable to use right for any action in any saved document or photo. I cannot even read the file exif data (photos). Can any of you help? Please. Nathan.

Start > settings >control-panel > system > system-protection > system-restore ... then following the wizard
Edit: While you are in control panel, you might want to take a look at the mouse settings. It is possible to disable any button there - or otherwise re-assign it. Probably unlikely but we don't know the history .... It could also, potentially, be changed by malware. Edited By Bandersnatch on 16/06/2017 22:39:25 |

![]() 19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles | Try logging on and when you get the screen asking for your password, look at bottom left and you will see the option 'safe'. Click this and it will launch Windows with the minimum of drivers and bypassing various clever bits (Microsoft and third party) that normally launch automatically. If right click now works you can restore or re-enable drivers/programs/apps until you find the cause/conflict. If right click still doesn't work, it's probably your mouse, but the symptoms sound more like a driver issue. Neil |
