My mouse keeps bringing up the right click menu when I roll my mouse wheel

When I roll my mouse wheel sometimes, the right click menu suddenly appears. Sometimes I can just be moving my mouse and it just appears out of nowhere. I am not clicking the right mouse button, it just appears suddenly. I have installed updated drivers and ran sfc scannow but this has not gotten rid of the problem. Could someone please help me with this situation.

    Hello!

    This sounds like a faulty mouse, or possibly you have a macro/mouse rebind installed. Please try using a different mouse, or the the mouse in a different computer (if possible).

    If you already have tried and you're still having issues, please test in clean boot.

    Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.

    In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab.

    Check Hide all Microsoft services, then click Disable all.

    Go to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.

    In Task Manager, disable all startup items.

    Close Task Manager, then click OK in System Configuration.

    Restart your computer, then please test again.
