    Changing the primary mouse button setting on one computer changes the setting simultaneouly...


    Our home office has a couple of PC computers an ACER Spin laptop and a custom AMD desktop running entirely separate Windows accounts on different email addresses.


    The problem: When a user changes the primary button in the Settings>Mouse page on one of the computers, the other computer automatically changes to that setting as well.


    Both computers use wireless mice but mouse clicks and movements only affect the computer the corresponding dongle is attached to, so there is no apparent wireless interference.


    Why is the mouse primary button option on one computer changing the mouse primary button option on the other and how do I fix this?

    :)

    primary mouse button changes itself

    Since I upgraded to Windows 10 several days ago, I have been having problems with my mouse. Without any apparent reason, the primary mouse button setting changes, but without actually changing the setting in the settings panel. So if I have my primary
    button set to left, when it changes all by itself, the right button becomes the primary button. But when I go to the settings panel, it still says that my left button is the primary button, but it is actually working as if it had been set to the right button.

    As a short term fix, I can set the mouse settings panel to be opposite what I want and have it function as intended, at least until the setting changes on it's own again, or I restart the machine. If the button was set opposite for the short term fix, it
    will have to be set back again when the machine is restarted.

    Mouse primary button setting

    I use a scroll mouse on the desktop with windows 10, and use "Right" as my primary button. I remote login to the same desktop while I am away using a laptop (mac os or windows 10) which has a normal mouse, and every time I login, I have to change the primary
    button setting to "Left".

    Can this setting be saved when logging in using remote desktop, so windows understands to use different primary buttons for mouse?
