📎 AI Summary:
The original poster, HelterSkelter, is experiencing a change in mouse button behavior between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, where pressing both buttons previously opened a new Chrome tab but now often opens the start menu instead. Neemobeer suggests that pressing both mouse buttons is intended to open a context menu, with the top option being for a new tab, implying that the issue might be due to an extra click or different behavior in Windows 10. The discussion indicates frustration with inconsistent mouse button functions after upgrading OS versions.

When i pressed both of the mouse buttons at the same time in windows 8.1 it would open a new tab in chrome. when i do this in windows 10 it will sometimes open a new tab, but most of the time it launches the start menu.

how do i get it to stop launching the menu?

Pressing both mouse buttons should open a menu. The top option is for a new tab. Perhaps you are just getting an extra click in there to open the new tab.
