I just restarted Windows at least four times without actually

Then Windows cannot restart because WordPad hasn't been closed
properly. Click the "don't save" button and repeat the above
process, still trying to restart. The same prompt comes up,
telling me that WordPad hasn't been closed properly. Again, click
the "don't save" button, and repeat the above process. The same BS
happens again. So I switch to WordPad and hit the X button to
close it, choose "don't save". This time the thing restarts.
I just wonder if anybody left at Microsoft still uses Windows. If
so, they should at least notice the pointer jumping to the right
when right clicking the Start button. And the fact that the Start
button regularly malfunctions. And they might think that stuff is
inappropriate and should be fixed?
Have you told Microsoft, too? Maybe, you're the only one with this
problem. Have you tried a shutdown & cold reboot to clear things
out? Could be Wordpad has the bug.
There are multiple reports of issues with Start button and menu.
This wouldn't be the first. Rebooting, "turn it off and on again",
doesn't help.
If you write applications in HTML and Javascript, what would you
expect ? There is a layer of interpretation, and an opportunity for
foul-ups.
It occurs in every installation on different hardware. It's as
obvious as the "King has no clothes" problem.
If the prior poster doesn't notice it, all one has to do is a simple
search for something like (Windows start button right-click pointer
jumps).
That provides results about nothing happening when the Start button
is right clicked, too.
And then there is the ineffective right click on taskbar buttons, the
one when the pop-up menu disappears.
I have been an avid hard-core multiplayer gamer (WarCraft, Age of
Empires, Tribes 2) I know how to click a mouse.
When I right-click the Start button, a system menu opens and the mouse
pointer stays right on the button until I move the mouse

According to Microsoft employee Raymond Chen...
The mouse cursor jumps a few pixels if you right-click the Start
button.
Whatƒ Ts up with that?
The purpose of the little mouse jump is to put the mouse into I guess
the idea is that the people who designed that menu wanted to enable the
mouse shortcut of right-click followed by left-click. When your taskbar
is positioned at the bottom of the screen, this means that a right-
click
followed by left-click invokes the bottom menu item, which is normally
Desktop.
And that's exactly what happens because the pointer jumps into the
menu,
right-click immediately followed by left click shows the Desktop.
But of course that doesn't explain why the menu doesn't always show, or
why right clicking on Taskbar buttons produces a pop up that sometimes
immediately disappears before you have a chance to select from the
menu.
I misinterpreted your post when you said jump to the right and nothing
happens. I thought you meant a big jump, not a few pixel. I've never paid
much attention to that behaviour because when I right-click the Start
button, the menu ALWAYS appears even if I wear my glasses or not.
The "computer stoopid", all seem to have these nebulous issues. And take
their frustrations out on the innocent. Such sad sacks (scrotums).
They are the same ones, whose fat and psychopathic wives thrash them within
inches of their lives. And after getting beat, they kick their dogs.
