Windows 10: Ghost selection bug in Windows apps

Hi.


I am recently facing an issue. In windows apps Settings, windows store, photos,... there seems to be a ghost input. For example when I open a photo, it starts zooming in to max, and when I want to zoom out, the slider stutters and as soon I release the mouse button, it goes back to how it was.

In settings, when I open the update page for example, there is a white box around the last option Get Help and again when I want to scroll up, there seems to an invisible force scrolling back down :

I know when it is happening when I see a selection box around last item in any list or view.

I don't think it is related to my input devices, as it only happens in Windows apps not in any other application. A restart fixes it temporarily, but it comes back.

Anyone else experiencing something like this?


Any suggestion is welcome.


Thank you.

:)

Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
