About Menu Button/Menu Key What Is the Menu Button

The menu button, also called menu key or application key, is a button which can be found on some Windows-oriented PC keyboards. The menu button is represented by a menu icon with a cursor hovering above it. The main function of the menu button is to open a context menu on desktop or in common apps opening in your system.

In general, people like to open the context menu by clicking the right mouse button. But in fact, they can access the context menu of current page/app more quickly and conveniently by pressing the menu key. Pressing the menu button is also a good choice when the right mouse button is not working.

On common desktop keyboards, you can see a menu button between the right Alt button (which is located on the right side of the Space bar) and the right Ctrl button. It could also be between the right Windows key and the right Ctrl key. In short, it will be placed to the left of your right Ctrl key.

However, the menu button or menu key is missing on some smaller keyboards like portable and laptop keyboards in order to save space.

Missing menu key on Keyboard.

Hello Community, I had a small question. Recently I have purchased a Windows 10 Laptop which doesn't have a 'Menu Key' on it. To be specific about what I am talking, here is a preview of missing key (The key marked with red line is missing). And this is how my keyboard exactly looks like.

Are there any functions which can only be used by that key? How do I make use menu given by this key on my keyboard? (Example- I want to refresh the desktop without using mouse and without pressing F5. How can I do that?) One more question, not having that key on the keyboard has any drawbacks for a Windows 10 user?
