Windows 10: Cursor clicks and holds on it’s own

Hello,My computer MSI Codex R2, 3 months since purchase has had strange mouse/cursor behavior but it has recently gotten worse and unbearable. It appears to have responsive moments, and non-responsive moments where it will click and hold but still movable. When it is non-responsive, hovering over buttons will not even cause the buttons to react. Also, if I move it back and forth in a window that allows dragging to highlight a region, the mouse will randomly click at some point and a highlight will form. After around 5 seconds, the highlight will go away, then it will happen again about 5 s

cursor dissappeared

Thank you both for your prompt replies, I tried all steps listed, some I had tries previously but I still tried them again, but still no cursor.

Do you have any other suggestions?

 

Cursor turning invisible without warning

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I suggest you to check if the issue persists if the cursor is not changed and using the default mouse cursor for both gaming and accessing the computer. If the issue still persists, follow the steps below:

• Right click on Start icon and select Device Manager.
• Expand Mice and other pointing devices/touchpad.
• Right click on Mouse driver and click on uninstall.
• Restart the computer and check for status.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

No restart button in task manager

another easy way to kill tasks, download and install Winaero Tweaker(free) and theres a setting to add a Kill non responding tasks using the desktop right click menu. When you place your cursor on the desktop anywhere and right click the option is at the top of the list, Very handy and you dont have to go through all those steps and well Winaero Tweaker has alot of cool Windows tweaks. Just posting a different suggestion, Im sure your ok with what was suggested here.
