  1. Windows ignores clicking


    This problem is kinda rare and a restart solves it.

    But I want to know anyways what could cause it.

    Totally random, my everything freezes. Keyboard input and mouse movement work, but clicking doesn't. When I click on a window, it gets white, as if the mouse was NOT on that window. No matter what I do. Taskbar doesn't react at all. When I open up the task manager with esc+shift+ctrl and shut down the explorer with delete, clicking works again, but as soon as I create a new explorer process to get my desktop back, the problem is there again.

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
