I upgraded from Mojave to Monterey lately. I used to be able to right-click on processes in Activity Monitor and click Quit or Force Quit, but now I can't. I guess there's the "Stop" button, but has anyone else noticed this?
Got a tip for us?

Moreover: in Catalina there's no right-click either.
Btw.: the right-click has always been very rare: only a few applications use it.
;JOOP!

Yes -- I seem to remember doing that in Mojave, also. And now that I've upgraded, it doesn't work in Monterey. Booooo!

I don't remember this ever working in any old version of OS X. Are you thinking of when you right click on an app in the Dock?

Still on Mojave on one machine, and right-clicking does not work for me (tried a dozen random processes).

Did you go into preferences - Mouse and turn on right click? Right click is turned off by default for some stupid reason!

That doesn't matter in this case, it's not how Activity Monitor works.
