Mouse Right Click Works Intermittently

[Hel Styrkr]

Evening all,
I've had an ongoing problem since upgrading to Windows 10. And I'd like to stress that I never had this problem on Windows 7, only on Windows 10. Basically, my left mouse button works fine, but my right mouse button works only intermittently. This is very noticeable in while gaming, in particular with Skyrim, where when I hold down the RMB it seems to stutter or start and restart. I also have the issue with having to right click multiple times in programs like Microsoft Word to bring up the context menu and when right clicking on the desktop I get the near endless loading pointer. Troubleshooting steps I've taken are listed below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Related Hardware:
-Windows 10
-Razer Naga Epic

Things I've Tried
-Restarting computer
-Uninstalling/reinstalling mouse drivers
-Deep antivirus scan
-Restarting Windows Explorer

I once had this very same problem but for me it was windows 7 about 1 year ago. I had the razer mamba 2013 edition and I gamed the hell out of that thing. After awhile either the sensor in the mouse that recognized the clicks and hold of clicks was going bad, or I had a bad driver. I don't know what the issue was but i couldn't fix it no matter what. My right click always worked it just never worked when holding it down.

I think is was just razer product and software in general, they make good keyboards but that's it, everything else is practically garbage. i never fixed my problem, i just bought another mouse..... Best of luck you fix your problem. try calling razer and asking them for support.

Probably the shortest time as a post ever, but I did a little more digging and not only found the solution, but tested it, and it fixed my problem. Found it on the official Windows 10 forums of all places. I'll post it here in the hopes that it can help someone else out:

That is the step-by-step to actually diagnose which shell is causing the problem. For me, it was a nVidia Control Panel submenu shell that was causing all my problems. Hope this helps someone in the future.
