A lot of Windows 10 users have been reporting a weird issue where the right-click context menu is randomly popping up without any user action. The vast majority of affected users are reporting that this issue is occurring at random intervals with no apparent trigger. Although the issue is much more common on Windows 10, there are some user reports of the same problem occurring on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
What’s causing the Random appearances of the right-click menu on Windows?
We investigated this particular issue by looking at various user reports and testing out the different repair strategies that are commonly recommended by other affected users that have already managed to resolve the issue. As it turns out, several different scenarios will trigger this particular behavior. Here’s a shortlist of culprits that have the potential of causing this behavior:
Corrupted / Incomplete driver – As it turns out, this particular issue can occur because the keyboard/mouse driver that is being used is not complete or is corrupted to the point where it ends up triggering some keys even if the user didn’t press that key physically. In situations like this one, the best course of action would be to run the built-in keyboard troubleshooter and fix the driver inconsistency automatically.
Click-Lock is enabled – According to several different user reports, this issue can also appear due to a mouse feature called ClickLock. This feature can end up triggering random context menus whenever the user tries to drag something using the Click-Lock feature. In this case, you should be able to resolve the issue by disabling click lock altogether.
Physical keyboard issue – A software issue is not the only possible culprit. In some cases, this particular behavior is caused by a stuck key that is producing the equivalent of a mouse right-click ( Shift + F10 or the Menu key can both produce this behavior). If this scenario is applicable, the only fix is to try and get the stuck key/s unstuck or to connect a different peripheral.
