    Occasionally Unable to Click Anywhere Except Inside of 1 or 2 Applications. Only fixed...


    Hello,I've been dealing with this issue periodically for the past few months. Occasionally, when my laptop has been unused for a few minutes, I will be unable to click anywhere outside of the window it is currently focused on when I come back to it. I'm usually unable to click on the taskbar, desktop, or any other application outside of whatever is currently in focus. Even newly opened applications like Task Manager are unable to be clicked in. I can Alt+Tab the other applications into focus, but when I click within it, the focus immediately moves elsewhere as indicated by the title bar of

    Unable to add folders in Windows 10 Mail application

    Hello,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.





    Please refer the below mentioned methods and check of that helps.



    Method 1:



    Windows Mail application is a Store application. Hence, I suggest you to run the troubleshooting on the Microsoft store application and check if that makes any difference, please refer the article
    Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store and follow the steps provided
    in the article.



    If the issue persists, please follow method 2.



    Method 2:



    As you are unable to add folder in Windows mail application, since you have already tired re-installing the application, I suggest you to create a new user account and check if that helps. Refer the article

    Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10
    .
