Windows 10: Strange happenings when right click to drag on Windows 10

I've recently set up a new rig.... So I'm still getting all the little annoyances squashed. I have two that continue to plague me..

1. When I select, right click/drag most of the time I get a right click menu rather than the ability to drag the item. Not sure how to fix that one.

2. I run a dual monitor set up for my graphics work. If I have iTunes up and playing music when I go to lower or up the volume I get a monitor identify overlay while I'm messing with the volume. Is there a way to turn that off?

Thanks much

Strange happenings

Hello,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I request you to uninstall and reinstall the latest keyboard driver from the computer’s website and see if that helps.

Step 1: un-install the driver:

Follow these steps.

a. Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.

b. Select Device Manager.

c. Find and double-click keyboard Driver from the left panel to uninstall

d. Right-click the device, and click Uninstall.

e. Windows will prompt you to confirm the device’s removal. Click OK to remove the driver.

f. After the uninstallation is complete, reboot your computer as soon as possible.

Step 2: Download the latest drivers compatible for Windows 10 from the manufacturer website.

Sound problems can be caused by cables that aren't connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates, and problems with your sound card.

I request you to follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the Sound card Drivers

a. Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.

b. Click on “Device Manager” from that list.

c. Search for the Sound driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then
remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.

d. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.



After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website.



Step 2: Go to the Computer or Sound Card manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Sound Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

I also request you to follow the below article:

Desktop locked up

Resolved the issue on my own Had to right click under view show desktop icons strange that not showing desktop icons prevents you from creating a click and drag

 

Hi, the first sounds more like a mouse problem. Do you have a wired mouse you can try? There were problems with some wireless mice in the early days of '10.

 

No, mouse is OK. I think it's a system setting for the volume thing. I use a Logitech Marble Mouse and the drivers for it are up to date.

 

You do not right click and drag unless you have the mouse set for Left Handed use.

 

It is not a driver issue. The Marble mouse is rather outdated at this time. I ended up going with the Logitech MX Master when my Marble Mouse started to go out. Also the MX Master gives you more options for two different rollers that you can use.

 

I thought right click n drag was an alternative for Ctrl click n drag.

 

It only works with the Touchpads, never worked with the external mice unless you define it through extra settings.

 

When dragging with right mouse button I always get separate menu with options to move, copy etc.

 

No special designated buttons here.

 

Right, so if I wanted to right/select/drag to another folder or have the right menu pop up and have the copy or move option there that's what I use that for. Instead when I do that I have no way to drag and get the full right click menu instead. Strangely I get this on just the left screen of the monitor but if I'm right/select/drag in the middle or right side of the monitor I get what I expect, not the full right click menu. I can also add that after a few tries the system "gets" that I want to right/select/drag and allows it. It's very strange behavior.

 

That is strange!

An option would be to add 'Move To/Copy To' to your right click menu:

Add 'Copy To folder' and 'Move To folder' Context Menu in Windows 10

 

Hmm, that uses a really old search option to the folder. Often times I'll have a shortcut to a folder on my desktop and want to right/select/drag and choose the Move to option. I have a SS Drive and want to keep things as clean as I can to keep it healthy and working for as long as I can. The shortcuts to other folders are other drives like D: or E:
