Windows 10: Copy/paste 'right-click' menu popping up unrequested on Windows 10 apps only

My wife's PC started having an issue 3 days ago, and I've tried everything I can think of - I'm stumped.


Simply put: when opening the start menu, or any Windows 10 app with an input field such as settings, the calculator, store, etc - anything which uses the windows 10 app 'skin', focus is immediately taken by the input field, and the 'right-click' paste menu pops up, meaning that you can't type anything. Clicking anywhere on the window for settings or apps causes the menu to flick away for a frame, and then reassert, so you can't actually click on anything or use the app. On the start menu, you can click on visible icons, or start typing to search, but you can't scroll, and clicking on the Documents/Network/File Explorer quick launch icons opens their right-click menu.


Nothing has been installed or removed before the problem started or since.

Windows update says it is up to date.

I've swapped out both the keyboard and mouse, and moved them to different ports.

Keyboard troubleshooter reports no errors.

Removing and reinstalling keyboard and mouse drivers has not worked.

Virus scanner is up to date and reports no issues.


ONLY Windows apps are having this issue - windows itself apart from the start menu is unaffected, as is Chrome, Steam, etc.


Any help would be appreciated.

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?

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
