Mouse Freezes Briefly When Right-Clicking Taskbar Apps

Asked by MellowCedar42
My mouse freezes for about one second whenever I right-click an application on the taskbar, and sometimes when I close a game. The issue started unexpectedly, and restarting my computer hasn't fixed it. Has anyone found a solution?

Try restarting Windows Explorer through Task Manager. The taskbar should disappear briefly and then reload, which can sometimes clear temporary taskbar-related glitches.

MellowCedar42: I tried restarting Windows Explorer, but unfortunately it didnโ€™t change anything.
