Windows 10: Buggy/corrupted mouse drivers

My desktop uses a USB wired mouse, the mouse worked fine for a month or two, then just started glitching out. Right clicks act as both left and right (at the same time, ikr, it's weird), and left clicks often refuse to go through. I'm assuming that it's the driver, not the mouse, but I could be wrong. I haven't gotten a chance to test the mouse on other systems, but I will try and update this post when I do. The mouse is only a few months old (as is the desktop), so I doubt that the mouse itself is broken, and if it was faulty it wouldn't have worked very well the first time I booted the tower. In attempts to fix the driver I have uninstalled the device and deleted the drivers then unplugged and replugged, works for a few minutes, then goes back to glitches. I can't seem to find a driver download on the Asus website for the model mouse I have, just a user manual. I've also done numerous virus scans with programs like Hitman pro, Malwarebytes, and the service I pay for, Kasperksy. Any ideas as to why this happens? I have exhausted my troubleshooting for now, and don't have a clue, please leave suggestions, thanks.

File Explorer Crash

Looks like DU170.dll is crashing it. I think it's a windows file. It maybe corrupt

One site says it maybe a video driver prob. Try uninstalling / updating them

It could be something you've installed thats added an option to the right mouse button. Buggy addons or extensions can also crash file explorer

 

The combination of DX11, Mouse Pointer Trails and Fullscreen Games means no mouse cursor.

Thanks for your reply.

I am already familiar with configuring Mouse Pointer Trails.

I am already using the latest driver with my Mouse. It's a very vanilla MS Optical Mouse 100, so there's no fancy driver issue with it. Also, as I've said in the description, switching the game configuration from DX9 to DX11 is the only thing necessary to
demonstrate the buggy behaviour.

Since the game I am playing does not support DX12, I cannot test with DX12.
