[Fixed] Right mouse click not working issue on Windows 11/10

In Windows 10, you may encounter an issue where right-click does not work (or rather, the context menu does not appear). In some cases, right-clicking the mouse works erratically; sometimes they react and others just stay still.

However, if you take a look at the WinX folder, all the shortcuts in it will work seamlessly when you click on them directly. You can even see the event viewer.

But before moving to the solutions, make sure the mouse is working properly, to do this, plug the mouse into another system (laptop/desktop) and check if the right click is working. For a wireless mouse, replace its batteries then try the solutions mentioned below. Additionally, disable all network drives/cards during the troubleshooting process. It will be a good idea to unplug all USB devices except the mouse. Make sure there is no disc in the CD/DVD ROM. To be sure if the problem is hardware or software related, boot the system into safe mode and check if right-clicking works. If you are using the PC in a corporate environment, check with your IT administrator to see if any Group Policy restricts right-clicking.

Your right click is not working? Without this, none of the context menus can open in Windows. Or, if you are experiencing the problem, it may be limited to the Start Menu, Desktop, or File Explorer.

It could also be a mouse hardware issue, but will likely be caused by corrupted system files, third-party programs, or incompatible drivers.
