  1. Right click menu cycles infinitely on Start/Search menus and all built-in Windows applications


    The issue is in the title.


    Essentially, my right click menu pops up and disappears like I'm hitting right-click as fast as I can without touching a thing. It only happens when trying to use the start menu, search bar, or built-in windows applications like Calculator or Settings. The weird part is, if I click on any part of the start menu or in the search window, the menu will stop appearing until I try to interact with anything again. Initially I thought my mouse might be broken, but I've tried other mice and the same thing happens.


    The issue does not occur in Google Chrome, Edge, any games I have installed, or any other applications. Only Windows related apps and menus.


    If a visual aid is needed, I can record the issue and share a link.


    Note: No amount of restarting, safe mode boots, unplugging devices and plugging them back in, updating drivers/software, or other quick fixes has solved the issue. I've even tried going into Task Manager and restarting the File Explorer task.


    Windows Version:
    Windows 10 Home x64
    Version 2004 OS Build 19041.508

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
     
  3. Start menu search not finding applications?


    Do you have "All apps" listed after you click on the start button ?

    As you can see Outlook 2013 does not show up under "O" in all apps.
