I forked over $5 on Start 10 for my Win10 Pro box at work, which makes Win10 look and work like Win7. I have context menus, a normal file manager, control panel, etc. and the usual behavior one expects from a non-brain damaged UI. Best $5 I ever spent. I highly recommend it.

I knew I recognized that company. They also make Sins - very good 4X game. I'll have to try out Start10 when I'm forced into a Win10 box soon (still using 7 atm).

They also make Fences - VERY neat way to organize your desktop. I've been using it for years!

It's not my machine, so I won't be buying/installing software on it.

I have context menus - do you have Tablet Mode enabled on the lappie? If so, that disables them and can be changed with WIN+A and click / tap on "Tablet Mode".
I don't get on with it myself (I prefer it off even on the Surface) but some do: Use your PC like a tablet[^]

Which context menus are you missing ? I have everything I need on my two WIn10 boxes.

All of them. This is especially disturbing in Explorer.

Does it also not work when you use the keyboard to open the context menu? If it would work with the keyboard then there is an issue with your mouse
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

It honestly never occurred to me to use a different mouse. I didn't even think to try the touch pad (I abhor the use of touch pads, and have disabled them in all of my laptops).

Had a mouse hooked up to a laptop yesterday that caused one of those "USB device not recognized" popups, which is rather unusual for a simple device like a mouse. Tried another port - worked perfectly. Switched it back - problem came back. Switched it again (to the port that worked) - now the problem had propagated to it as well. And it stayed that way until I took the time to reboot the laptop.
Even in this day and age, sometimes you still can't dismiss the simplest fixes...

Probably you need to uninstall one of the latest updates. There was one recently that broke context menus on the taskbar and also searching on the windows menu.

David Gilmour Guitar Collection[^]
He auctioned off over 120 instruments and artifacts. Knowing the "Black Strat" is no longer in his hands brings a tear to the eye.

Apples to oranges from my point of view. Little Feat is not David Gilmore (or Pink Floyd), but David Gilmore is not Little Feat.
But if you want to make that comparison within the genre of prog rock, I might consider that David Gilmore has nothing on King Crimson. King Crimson - 21st Century Schizoid Man - YouTube[^] ( I especially enjoy the section that begins at 8:00)
Even with that opinion, my enjoyment of Gilmore will be in no way diminished.
