Desktop right click

Absolutely not!!!

These attributes should be there on first click! Native or not! Period!

I'm getting sick and tired of all the speculation on what MS did to the right click context menu, why they did it, what you can do to work around it, whether it works for this, or that, blah, blah, blah!

They made a mistake! They should fix it!

Okay, Okay, Okay! I agree, Microsoft has definitely screwed this one up. But then, some of us are pretty unobservant . . . like yours truly. I didn't see those icons on the top bar of the Context Menu. Nope, Edit ain't there. :(

All you have to do is hit shift & F10 , not that hard but it is something that should be fixed, I used to be able to adjust the volume from the task bar on different programs and now I have to go into settings. Seem like MS wants to put everything in settings.(n)

I haven't had any problems when right clicking. I am having problems using the scroll wheel on my wireless mouse. It occasionally lags and/or will start scrolling in the wrong diretion. This is in the Edge browser. I haven't tried it in any other programs.

There's something weird goin on with erratic mouse behavior!
Often I will hover highlight an object, but, when I click it chooses the one above, below or beside it!
I noticed also, when I shutdown, right at the last second, the mouse pointer jumps to the center of the screen!

There's something weird goin on with erratic mouse behavior!
Often I will hover highlight an object, but, when I click it chooses the one above, below or beside it!
I noticed also, when I shutdown, right at the last second, the mouse pointer jumps to the center of the screen!
Click to expand...
I get this too from time to time.

Ha! I was just about to buy a new mouse because of that. Happened oftenly in Explorer. But not in applications (I use Corel, Photoshop, etc). Almost anytime I try to click the most right item in Explorer, the cursor jump 1-2 items to the left.

Anyone other than me annoyed by the "Show More Options" when you right click an icon on the Desktop or other places.
Click to expand...
You don't have to right-click then select 'Show more options', once such an item is selected you can just press Shift+F10 to get the full context menu straight away. If your keyboard has a Menu key even better, just press that.

What Is the Menu Key For? (and How to Remap It)

Have you ever used the "menu key"?

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.
