  1. Windows Settings menu randomly pops up


    Windows Settings menu normally invoked by Windows key +i randomly pops up. This happens every 10 or so minutes and disrupts ongoing activity. It needs to be disabled somehow but none of the known methods or security settings works in this case.

    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?

    Windows 10 start menu randomly pops up, why?

    Hi,

    As per the description, I understand that the Start menu pops up automatically.

    To assist you better, I would like to know the current build installed on the computer.

    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Type settings on the search bar, choose Update and Security
    and click Check for Updates.

    or

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: ms-settings:windowsupdate

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to refer to the article provided below and check if that helps.
