Left click not working and right click working

HI Milan,

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.
  

Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.

Regards.

 

Left click not working and right click working

Hi ,

I just got a windows update and my left click is not working , could you please advise what is the best solution to this.

The start button only works with the right click

 

If you have a dedicated video card, uninstall the driver and reboot ( let Windows install the driver).

 

I don't have a dedicated video card

 

In the Mouse Properties
I checked the "Switch primary and secondary buttons" and then unchecked it.

The right click started working after that.

 

dang it how is this so screwed up I have tried every suggestion and still cant find solution

 

I solved this after quite some hours of temper. It was simple in the end.
Try this:
1. Download CCleaner by Piriform (free) CCleaner - Free Download - Piriform
2. Start CCleaner
3. Then Tools (left hand menu)
4. Then Context Menu (top right)
5. This will populate and give you a list of shell.dll files
6. I then disabled the file: BTMSentToExt (Intel Corporation)

If you don't have this file you can try disabling the ones you do have and seeing if it solves your right click issue.

Hope this helps you.

 

Mine right click issue was also caused by an Intel context menu item (igfxDTCM Module) but in my case it doesn't show up in CCleaner for some reason - I disabled it using ShellExView





You could try both as right click issues often do seem to be caused shell handlers. Just disable all the non-Microsoft ones and see if right click works and then turn them back on until you find the culprit.

EDIT Just noticed this is a pretty old thread.... Still it is interesting CCleaner and ShellExView show different items.

 

Thank you. New W10 system in November 2017 and this solved my problem without additional downloads (though I am a fan of CCleaner as well). Tip of the hat.
