  2. Taskbar left click and right click not working

    Hi Regors,



    Thanks for the update.



    Please reply to a few questions asked below to understand the issue better:


    • Do you get context menu on right clicking on the icons located on the task bar?

    • Are you unable to use the left click mouse option only on the taskbar icons?

    • What is the primary mouse button set at Mouse settings?


    You might have changed the primary mouse button settings from the
    Mouse
    settings page on Windows. To check the primary mouse button set on the PC, follow the steps below:




    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard, type
      Mouse & touchpad settings and select the top most search result.

    • From the left side panel of the window, check if
      Select your primary button
      under Mouse is set to
      Left
      . If not, select Left from the dropdown bar.

    • Close the window and check if the changes are effective.


    If the issue persists, write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of the issue for further assistance.



    Thank you.

    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?

    Left Click does nothing on start button


    I was having the same problem. Of the five steps you list I tried the third. By going to Full Screen ON and then back to OFF, The menu came up fine when I left clicked. Thanks!
