I have tried a different browser, I have also tried to connect a different mouse. I have checked the Mouse Setting again and the setting in the 'Additional Mouse Options'.

    Set Left Button as Primary

    In the Win10 task bar on the left edge is the windows symbol which currently responds to a rightmouse button click. Can I change it to respond to a left button click instead ?Settings show Right-handed (left Primary Click ) radio button is set.
    What do you suggest ? Bob
