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?

    Good find. I removed the extension on a system that was having the "right click" problem and it immediately went away. Wonder if Memeo is aware of the issue and is looking for a solution.

    Interestingly, I had the same problem on a second computer that did not have that extension installed and the only solution I found was to create a new user.

    Hi,

    Yes they are, I reported this a few months back. Memo said were aware of this issue and that the backup program would still work after uninstalling the browser extension.  So far I haven't seen any updates to fix the extension.

    Yes, the backup works fine. I am using it on this computer and actually never installed the extension.

    Thanks again for posting a solution that worked!

    Another cause of this, is apparently, removing the shortcut arrows. (you may find this also affects file explorer (formerly windows explorer).
