This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable press and hold for right-clicking with a pen for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
You can pair a pen via Bluetooth to connect the pen with your Windows 11 PC and use with the pen menu.
When you press and hold with a pen tip, it is the same as performing a right-click.
