  1. Can't use my keyboard and mouse at the same time


    Hello, I have a problem that has been going on for a while on my computer and I can't find any way to fix it. As the title says, I am not able to use my mouse and my keyboard at the same time, when I start typing or pressing keys I am not able to click with my mouse. It's pretty annoying, for example if i'm gaming, pressing WASD will just make my mouse not click, here are more information if needed:-I can still move the cursor-I am on a pc not a laptopAny help would be really apprecieated :, Thanks

    :)
