  1. I CAN'T CLICK ANYTHING ON MY LAPTOP (taskbar, windows, etc.)


    I've had this problem for a few days now, but 24 hours ago it got worse

    The touchpad of my laptop has a few bugs, and this one was right click only several times, I started using a mouse and the problem improved, but yesterday I had a big bug: sometimes I can not click on the taskbar or certain windows, it seems frozen

    The workaround is by pressing ctrl + alt + del, but after a short time it returns to freeze

    I tried many possible solutions before publishing here:

    1- Run SFC /scannow and then run this command DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    2- Scan if i have viruses, found 2 (they were triggers), but I deleted them

    3- Uninstalling the NVIDIA driver

    4- Uninstalling the Dell Touchpad driver

    5- Start in safe mode (here even the touchpad itself worked me correctly, but after a few minutes failed again)

    I don't know what to do anymore, many of the forums where I found these solutions range from 2009 - 2016

    Does anyone know any permanent solution to this problem?

    I need help I CAN'T CLICK ANYTHING ON MY LAPTOP (taskbar, windows, etc.) :(

    I CAN'T CLICK ANYTHING ON MY TASKBAR. PLS HELP!

    Hey pals, uh I can't seem to get anything on the bottom taskbar to open right with one simple click. I upgraded to Windows 10 not too long ago (first week it was out), it was working fine for a while, but now I can't seem to click anything on the bottom
    bar, wi-fi, battery, action center, volume mixer, the start bar or search anything.

    I can right-click and open certain things like volume mixer, and power options, and I can open pinned stuff like Chrome and File Explorer (which has a laggy start-up), but that's about it. How do I fix this? Please help.

    Some other small details:

    • ASUS Laptop (forget which model)
    • I believe I'm running the 64 bit version of Windows
    • I run Bitdefender as my Virus Protection Software (which also hasn't been working lately)

    Feel free to ask any questions that could help assist you in diagnosing my problem. I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

    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?

    I CAN'T CLICK ANYTHING ON MY TASKBAR. PLS HELP!

    Hello,

    Apologize for the delayed response.

    To diagnose the issue, I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if the issue persists.

    Method 1:

    Try to run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption.
    SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

    • Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

      sfc /scannow

    If the issue still exists, try the next method.

    Method 2:

    You may check the same issue with the new user account.

    Try these steps to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
    • Select Add an Account.
    • Enter a user name and hit Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    • Check if issue persists.

    Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need any further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.
