    left mouse click results in multiple random clicks


    when I do a left mouse click it quite often results in a double or more clicks. If I change the mouse it still happens. if I switch left and right mouse buttons it goes away, but that is a really awkward way for me to work. I have deleted mouse in Device manager, which there are always 3 there, restarted and it comes back, as well as all 3 HID mice. I can delete 2 of the HID mice and mouse still works but double click issue is still there, eventually all 3 HID return. I have been monitoring it in a "mouse event test page" and it confirms what is happening.

    Any ideas?

    :)

  2. Random Left Clicks

    Hi,

    Corrupted touchpad driver is one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. We suggest uninstalling the driver to see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Double-click Mice and other pointing devices to expand.
    • Right-click the TouchPad driver, then click Properties.
    • Go to the Driver tab.
    • Click Uninstall.
    • Restart your laptop to automatically reinstall the driver.
    Keep us in the loop with the result.
