At the barbers today I asked to have my hair cut like Tom Cruise.
So he gave me two cushions to sit on.

If someone had given MS the perfect user interface they would have moved away from perfection on their very next release - making for a less useful product.
Which version of Windows was their most usable - and how far away from it are we now?
I, for one, like Roman Numerals.

watch it! even the tiniest hint of badness coming from redmond will have the fanlemmings all riled up.
(btw: redmond literally means red mountain, wish the idiots running ms and the flocks of lemmings that worship them would jump off the bloody thing.)

You must be confused with the hardcore Linux fans. Those can be rabid beyond scary. There's no comparable thing as a "Redmond fanlemming", as you put it. The most you'll probably get out of some Windows users, especially on a site like CP, is perhaps an admission that they're making a good living writing software for the platform. But most wouldn't call themselves "fans".

I forked over $5 on Start 10 for my Win10 Pro box at work, which makes Win10 look and work like Win7. I have context menus, a normal file manager, control panel, etc. and the usual behavior one expects from a non-brain damaged UI. Best $5 I ever spent. I highly recommend it.

I knew I recognized that company. They also make Sins - very good 4X game. I'll have to try out Start10 when I'm forced into a Win10 box soon (still using 7 atm).

They also make Fences - VERY neat way to organize your desktop. I've been using it for years!

It's not my machine, so I won't be buying/installing software on it.

I have context menus - do you have Tablet Mode enabled on the lappie? If so, that disables them and can be changed with WIN+A and click / tap on "Tablet Mode".
I don't get on with it myself (I prefer it off even on the Surface) but some do: Use your PC like a tablet[^]

Which context menus are you missing ? I have everything I need on my two WIn10 boxes.

All of them. This is especially disturbing in Explorer.

Does it also not work when you use the keyboard to open the context menu? If it would work with the keyboard then there is an issue with your mouse 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

It honestly never occurred to me to use a different mouse. I didn't even think to try the touch pad (I abhor the use of touch pads, and have disabled them in all of my laptops).

Had a mouse hooked up to a laptop yesterday that caused one of those "USB device not recognized" popups, which is rather unusual for a simple device like a mouse. Tried another port - worked perfectly. Switched it back - problem came back. Switched it again (to the port that worked) - now the problem had propagated to it as well. And it stayed that way until I took the time to reboot the laptop.
Even in this day and age, sometimes you still can't dismiss the simplest fixes...

Probably you need to uninstall one of the latest updates. There was one recently that broke context menus on the taskbar and also searching on the windows menu.
