Mouse right click no longer working in excel

In any spreadsheet now the right click no longer opens the menu.  I can't copy and paste, edit or anything else.  The mouse works in word and other applications, and in fact works in the header or menus of excel.  But if I got to a cell, it will not open upon right click.

Try this:

From your worksheet, press Alt + F11.   careful, that's ALT + F11

Next press Ctrl+G

Type in (or copy here and paste)

Application.CommandBars("Cell").Reset

Then press the Enter key.

Press Alt+Q to return to the worksheet.

Click your right mouse button on any worksheet cell.   Does your right click menu appear now?

I think the sheet may be password protected.

Check in sample new file, if it happens the same.

If it works in sample file, check for below link for more troubleshooting steps:

    The problem seems to have been solved by going to options/add-ins and removing the only .com add in I had which was a bluetooth mobile app. I uninstalled it completely.
