    Mouse clicks twice

    This is an intermittent problem with my mouse. I click once, but the mouse clicks twice.

    I have:

    • set the Double-click speed to the lowest and still have the same problem;
    • checked to see if the driver is up to date and it is; and
    • changed the mouse three times and still have the same issue.

    Windows 10 Mouse clicks twice sometimes

    Hi,

    Did you try the steps provided in the previous posts?

    I would suggest you to follow the methods given below and check.

    Method 1: Use the hardware and System Maintenance
    troubleshooter.

    Step 1:

    The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which will check the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues with it and provides the details and on how to fix them. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.

    • Connect the devices to the computer.
    • Press Windows key on the keyboard
    • Type troubleshooting in the search tab and press
      Enter.
    • Click View all on left panel.
    • Click Hardware and devices, new window will popup.
    Step 2:

    • Press Windows key on the keyboard
    • Type troubleshooting in the search tab and press
      Enter.
    • Click View all on left panel.
    • Click System Maintenance , new window will popup.
    Method 2: Update mouse adapter driver.

    Step 1: Check for the latest driver update through Windows Updates.

    • At the Start screen, type Windows Update.
    • Click or tap Settings on the right side of the screen, and then select
      Install optional updates from the left results.
    • When the Windows Update control panel opens, click on “Check for Updates” on the top left corner to receive a fresh list of updates.
    Incompatible or not properly installed graphics card drivers are the most common cause of this issue.

    Step 2: Follow the steps below to update the touch drivers.

    • Press Windows + X key on the keyboard.
    • Go to device manager.
    • Right-click your mouse devices/driver.
    • Click Update Driver Software and then follow the steps in the wizard that appears.
    Restart the computer and check.

    Method 3: Check in
    compatibility mode.

    Download the mouse drivers from the manufacture's website for Windows 10, if not available.

    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    a. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

    b. Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
    ‘properties’.

    c. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
    ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.

    d. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
