Hi there,
Since a recent Windows 11 update, I am unable to right-click on inspect, because of this I can't modify code or change anything using it.

I have tried repairing Edge and there has been no change on it... Can anyone help?

Thanks

    Hi @Anonymous

    Do you mean that you cannot open up a context menu by right-clicking in Edge devtools? If so, you can try to restore defaults in the devtools settings:
    Settings --> Preferences --> Restore defaults and refresh

    If it does not work, please provide more information, such as your Edge version.

    Update:

    Seems like it only occurs in Elements panel. I have reproduced the issue in a very strange way, and I suppose this is the cause of the problem. When the elements code is zoomed out to be less than 100% and there is a scroll bar in the Elements panel, right-click does not work. By contrast, when the elements code is zoomed in to be greater than 100% (including 100% itself), right-click always works. So you can try to stay at 100% or greater to avoid this issue. If you prefer to work at less than 100%, you can still click the "three dots" in the left of the same line to call the context menu.

    For more information of zooming devtools in or out, please consult this doc.
