Default 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 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. Windows 8.1 Pro
with Media.

So it seems some poeple don't get the same behavior than what you get.

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.
What’s 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.

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.

pointer stays right on the button until I move the mouse


You need glasses.

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.

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?


Ship if not air your computer to Micro$oft so that they could see what
you were talking about!

OTOH, consider a clean install of Win 10 after backing up your stuffs.
