  1. Enter key is acting as left mouse click


    So I have had my wired mouse and keyboard for a while, some months, never had any issues.


    Last night I went to control panel, went to uninstall a program, and I repaired both X64 and X86 Microsoft visual C++ programs. I reset my PC today while getting several PC updates. All of a sudden I noticed that when I hit enter in steam chat, my mouse clicked on google and brought google to the front.


    This happens everywhere, on steam, google, roblox, microsoft word, and even the desktop, so it's not a specific program's fault.


    It shouldn't be the microsoft visual C++ since I REPAIRED those, right? Both 2017.


    I am using a windows 10 desktop computer, around 4 or 5 years old but surely that shouldn't mean anything.

    Left key mouse


    Hi Don,

    • Is this on your laptop?
    • If it is, are you using the touch-pad and associated keys (please supply name and version of touch-pad) or do you have a separate mouse with USB dongle (please supply name and version of mouse)?

    left mouse buttion not working

    Thanks for all these helpful information, Glen. First step that we can try is to isolate if this is a hardware or software issue.

    If your keyboard is connected via USB, have you tried plugging it to a different USB port and still get the same results? If you have other working mouse, try it onto your PC and see if the issue will persist and let us know.

    As for the software side, check if your drivers are updated to the latest version, particularly with the
    mouse driver. If that didn't fix the issue, follow the steps listed below to perform Windows 10 Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter:

    • Ttype Troubleshooting on the Cortana search box and hit the Enter key.
    • Click View All located on the top left corner of the control Panel window.
    • Click Hardware and Devices.
    • Run the troubleshooter.

    Try out these steps and let us know the outcome.

    Hi,

    There may be several reasons why your mouse started acting this way after the update. We suggest you try to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to assist you in resolving this issue. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.

      Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.
