Mouse right click pop-up menu stopped working in Excel 2013

Hello, I am using Excel for a long time. Since 2 days (probably I did some wrong shortcut key combination??) I cannot open pop-up menu with right click of the mouse. Right click works everywhere in...

    Open the VBA editor (alt+F11), press control+g. Type this text:
    Application.CommandBars("Cell").Reset
    At the end of that line, press enter.
    If that does not help, repeat the above with:
    Application.CommandBars("Cell").enabled=true

    This worked for me in that I can now right-click on a cell. However, right-click is not working within the formula bar or if a column is selected. Is there another CommandBars reset/enable option that will fix this?

      Hi cauditrana 

       

      Vijay's first suggestion at this link worked for me: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/mouse-right-click-not-working-in-excel-sheets/74f65a2c-4a2b-4fc0-b29c-69c4d258a3a1

       

      Basically close Excel > navigate to "%appdata%\Microsoft\Excel" > move the files to a back up folder > relaunch Excel.

      Does it work if you start Exxcel in safe mode ( press and hold the ctrl key while you launch Excel)?

    Hi Jan,
    It is worked on that current excel file when you do the vba editor. When I close it or open different excel file, the right click still not functioning. Please advise.

      Sounds as if there is an add-in which changes the right-click menu. Check which add-ins you have installed (File, Options, Add-ins tab, select either Excel add-ins or COM add-ins from the drop-down and click Go).

        Hi Jan Karel, I got checked the excel and COM add-ins but none of it is ticked. Update : The user feedback to me that now his excel are okay, but we still do not know why it is become like that.

        Thank you
