Microsoft Windows 7 right click doesn't work, stopped working, broken

Here's another reason to hate Microsoft:

This wasted 2+ hours of my time.

The actual problem appears to be that the recent "critical" installation of an update to Skype screws up your right click so that when you right click, it doesn't work 2 or 3 times then works if you keep doing it nd time it right.

I remember that when I did the update, the Skype window would not disappear, so something in its installation screws up your right click permanently

I removed the programs

• Skype
• Skype launcher (which was automatically installed by Toshiba, who makes the worst product I've ever bought)
• Skype Click To Call

and then had the problem intermittently until I rebooted. I haven't seen the problem since.

If you go to the Microsoft answer, some guy named Ramesh from Microsoft sends you to a page where you install 7zip and Rocketfuel and a bunch of other affiliate software and never installs anything that helps. I could never find the software that supposedly checks add ons for right clicks. I also removed the 7zip program.
