Everybody at Microsoft using Macs or Linux?
I just restarted Windows at least four times without actually
restarting. Right-click on the start button, watch the pointer jump to the right, but nothing happens. Repeat until it works. 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 tried a shutdown & cold reboot to clear things out? Could be Wordpad has the bug. Stef |

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.

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. Windows 8.1 Pro with Media. So it seems some poeple don't get the same behavior than what you get. |

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 You need glasses. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/old...06-00/?p=92791 According to Microsoft employee Raymond Chen... The mouse cursor jumps a few pixels if you right-click the Start button. Whats 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. |
