Are you having trouble performing a right-click (or secondary click) with a mouse or touchpad in Windows 10? Since you can’t do serious work without access to any context menus, this is a problem that needs to be solved ASAP. Sure, you can right-click using your keyboard, but that isn’t exactly a practical long-term solution!
Many factors – such as minor bugs, outdated drivers, and incorrect settings – can prevent Windows 10 from registering the right-click from your PC’s pointing device. However, the list of troubleshooting tips and fixes below should help you fix when right-click is not working in Windows 10.
1. Explorer-ро аз нав оғоз кунед
If you could right-click on the mouse or touchpad just before the issue started, you can try restarting File Explorer. That often ends up getting rid of any random glitches with context menus.

Restarting File Explorer alone may not end up fixing right-click problem in Windows 10. If the issue persists, you should continue by rebooting Windows 10. Do that now before moving on to the next fix.
3. Disconnect/Reconnect Mouse
Unplugging an external pointing device from your PC and plugging it back again is another way to fix odd input-related snags in Windows 10. If the mouse or touchpad has an ON/OFF switch, you should also try flicking it back and forth to reboot the internal circuitry.
4. Check Mouse Settings
If the buttons on your mouse appear to have flipped (as in the left mouse button right-clicks and vice-versa), you must use the Settings app in Windows 10 to fix that.

If you have something similar installed on your computer, review the mouse key bindings to ensure that you’ve set them up correctly. You may also want to remove the application from your computer.
