How to Change Mouse Click Position in Windows?
While surfing on the internet, I have found that many Windows users are facing issues while doing a right-click with their mouse. In simple words, they want to change the context menu position from left to right while doing mouse right click.
So i thought to write this article to help them, wherein users can change mouse click position from left to right.
This happens due to the default Tablet PC Settings on a Windows computer or whenever you have installed a fresh copy of Windows on your machine.
For an experiment when I Reset my PC which has already installed Windows 10. As a result, i see by default the context menu position of the mouse is on the left. This could happen to Windows Vista or later Windows operating systems.
Certainly if this is happening to you then surely your system has touch screen capabilities.
Windows has the option to use a mouse with the right hand and a context menu will appear to the left of your hand, or use a mouse with the left hand and a context menu will appear to the right of your hand.
Remember that specific options and labels may vary slightly depending on your Windows version, so make sure to explore the Tablet PC Settings menu to tailor your tablet or touch-enabled device to your preferences.
