    Clicks all over the screen / random typing without input


    Today, I turned my PC back on from sleep, only to find out random clicks are happening all over the screen. Like, it's not moving my cursor, but I know the clicks are happening because they are visible in the Bluestacks app I'm playing, and it's clicking on stuff all over when I'm not even touching my mouse. I also found it randomly starting typing in my Discord when I made it the active window. Not like someone manual typing, since the letters appeared at the exact same interval, and like they got pulled from my chat history since it was forming a sentence I would write, same style and wording and all. The same for the clicks, it's like they came from my clicking memory, since they didn't seem to be trying to achieve anything, just clicking in the same places I normally would in the mobile app. I restarted my PC, but hours later, it starts doing the random clicks again.

    Question is, what is causing this, and what do I do to stop it?

    Windows version: 10.0.19041 Build 19041

    :)

    Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

    I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

    HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

    1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
    2. Then click Language preferences.
    3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
    4. Click the "Region" option
    5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
    6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
    7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
    8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)

    I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

    Hope it will help you, too!
