Windows 10: Gaming mouse's left click and wheel randomly stop working

It first happened half an year ago... my Cougar Revenger mouse stopped working properly: everything was fine except the left button and the wheel. From time to time it would suddenly work again, but after a moment those two parts stopped responding.

After two weeks without any solution from Cougar, I was about to give up. I knew it was a software issue, but couldn't figure out what it was. I had tried EVERYTHING: I'm not talking "reinstall mouse driver, rollback driver, reinstall gaming software, reinstall Windows", I did A LOT. Tough weeks. Suddenly, November update popped up and it was simultaneous: I installed it and the mouse worked perfectly ever since. Not a single problem... until ten days ago.


I tried the mouse in other computers and it works. Also, I enabled Windows fast startup and, if the mouse is not working, when shuting down the computer and turning it on that way, the mouse works for less than 5 seconds until the problem begins again, so it's a Windows software issue. When I restart, the mouse stops working after more time, randomly. Is there a way in which I can know what happened in the back so I can check which background process, service or whatever happens the second it stops working?

I've heard about Clean boot and disabling services by groups until you spot THE one but it takes a lot of time so I wanted to check other options first.

Thanks in advance.

Left mouse click randomly stops working Windows 10 64bit

I have a gaming rig with Ttesports by Thermaltake keyboard and mouse combo. Everything appeared to work great until recently the mouse Left click randomly stops working. This is a fresh install of windows 10
64bit. I began to notice this during gaming and after exiting the game the Left mouse click seemed to be "picky" on what it would let me click on. I have to hit the power button to shut the computer down and restart and all is well again
until randomly the Left click gets picky again. Mouse drivers are MS drivers and no drivers came with the combo. I know in the past MS has had issues with 64bit support device drivers.

I have tried:

Drivers that don't seem to exist from Tremaltake - sent them an email (tried legacy drivers form web)

Different mouse - same results - several hard wired/wireless (might try the PS2 port type mouse)

Thanks in advance for any advice or help

Standard MS Mouse scroll wheel just stopped working

Hi pjaj43,

The mouse scroll wheel suddenly stopped working might be due to a variety of reasons. One of which is due to outdated mouse device driver.

That being said, have you checked from your mouse driver manufacturer's website if they have a latest update for your mouse device?

What were the recent changes made on your PC before the mouse device started to not work?

Have you tried unplugging the mouse device, rebooting the PC, then plug the mouse device again? Did the same issue occur?

Is your Windows 10 up-to-date?

In the meantime, let's run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter

• Locate then select Troubleshooting.
  
• Click View all from the left pane.
