  1. Right Click Dropdown Disappears in Office Applications


    One of our users has an issue when she is using office applications. When she right clicks in an office application for example if the was wanting to copy and paste. the dropdown menu appears for a fraction of a second before disappearing making it impossible to use the menu. This only happens in office applications so it isnt a mouse/drive issue.I have disabled all addins, did a repair of office and then uninstalled and reinstalled office but still the problem persists. Does anyone have a solution other than beating the desktop with a big stick :-Many Thanks

    :)

  4. Right Click Dropdown Disappears in Office Applications

    Can't remove pinned office applications

    My laptop is a Dell Precision 7510, running Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprice 64bit (10.0.15063 Build 15063) and Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus (1701 Build 7766.2092).

    My problem is, that beside some useful apps on my taskbar, office has also pinned Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I would like to remove these 3 pinned apps. When unpinning them, they actually disappear, but after next restart (or restart of explorer.exe) they reaper as if nothing had happened.

    I have tried following this "guide":
    Redirecting

    I have seen the above suggestion posted on several sites, but unfortunately it doesn't help in my case.

    When executing the script (or preforming the steps manually) all is removed, but after explorer.exe restart below icons always reaper:

    • File Explorer
    • Internet Explorer
    • Outlook 2016
    • PowerPoint 2016
    • Word 2016
    • Excel 2016

    Other apps pinned at the time is removed as intended.

    Does anyone have a suggestion to how I can remove these unwanted office apps from my taskbar? And why do above list or apps reapear after deleting them from both the %APPDATA% folder and REGEDIT?

    Thanks in advance.
