Windows 10: Right click menu keeps on popping up even if I don’t press the button

I have Windows 10 pre-installed on my Compaq Presario C081. After boot up, the right-click context menu appears automatically. Whenever I move the mouse over any desktop icon OR around on the search area (IE, Chrome, or any other browser), the right-click context menu instantly appears without clicking. Because of this problem, I am not able to type anything in the word/excel document, etc. This problem happens with both the touchpad and USB mouse. It is also noticed that when I move my pointer on the Taskbar, the right click taskbar context menu appearing. After searching the internet for hours, I am unable to find a solution. Even though I reset the laptop, the same problem still persists. Any idea how to solve the problem.

Keep us posted. One of the steps provided should help.

Does this happen with a mouse? Test that if you haven't.

Do you have the latest touchpad software installed and configured in Settings > Devices > Touchpad and also in the Additional Settings there at the right side of the page to open Mouse Properties and look at the last tab where the Touchpad software installs
itself?

I'd uninstall mouse and touchpad software in Device Manager, then restart PC using keyboard to Ctrl Alt Del, on blue screen tab to Power Icon in bottom right, press Enter, arrow down to Restart, press Enter to restart to reinstall the driver.

I've got the most up-to-date laptop in town, but I still have the damn popup box! One thing I noticed was while reading emails was it popped up in the upper-left corner of the active area and scrolled the email back up to the top. Hard to read emails that
way.

It was bugging the hell out me here, but a popup page appeared on the right side of the screen that only computer geeks would know what it meant, I "X"'d it away, and the popup box has gone silent. It seems while I am actively typing it leaves me along
and reappears when I stop to read my latest entry. Does any of this make sense?

Gonna try the Media Creation Tool thingie next ...

Perhaps check you haven't got click lock set? (Your software may well look different).

 

Now the problem is temporarily solved! On reading some posts, I realized that the "Menu Key" (in between Windows Key & Ctrl Key) is malfunctioning. Whenever the problem occures, I need to hit on this "Menu Key" and the Laptop will work perfectly. However, I have to do the same practice again if the Lap is rebooted.
