Hi all

I am having trouble with a few games that require a substantial amount of right-clicking during game play.

At some point, the mouse will be (in game) but hovering over the bottom left corner of the screen, at which point the Win-X menu launches and kicks me out of the game and back to desktop.

Is there anyway to forcibly disable this menu totally, or to make sure it doesn't activate during full screen games?

Many thanks

The only suggestion to make is to have the game run in full screen mode and disable windowed mode.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this issue occurs in Full Screen mode, I never run games in Window mode. As I said, is there any way to make sure it doesn't happen in Full Screen games?

Many thanks
