Right click 8.1 'start' button does nothing

Hi;

Upgraded from windows store (original 8.0 clean install) to 8.1.  Everything worked fine, except the windows start button does not respond to a right mouse click.  Left button works fine (switches between desktop and start menu), Right mouse clicks works as expected on every other object.  I don't have any of the windows 8.1 start screen navigation settings checked  (I.E. stop using the start screen).

Ideas?

    Thank you for the response. Try these steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1:

    You can try running a SFC scan and check.

    This issue may occur if a particular system file is missing or corrupt.

    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Step 2:

    Check if the issue persists in new user account.

    1. Are you unable to use  Windows + x in new user account?
    2. Did you check in Safe Mode?
