Windows 10: Laptop Mouse Buttons and Selective Freezing

I don't know where to begin with this so I'll keep it as simple as possible.


I own a HP Laptop running Windows 10 that for some time was working fine, nothing out of the ordinary in terms of errors and all that. That is until recently.


One day I turned on my laptop, started up fine and then I noticed the left button was almost stuck in a down state (not the actual button but on screen).


This is how the problems began. Until both buttons became unresponsive and even alternated roles so left became right. This lead on to random freezes and an inaccessible way of using my laptop.


I searched the Internet and followed certain advice updating drivers and all, but with the messed up buttons and constant freezing it's damn near impossible to do anything. Also the stuff I managed to do, did not solve the problems.


If anyone has even the slightest idea on what I could do or know what's going on, it is very much appreciated.

I suggest you to update drivers and check if that helps. If that issue persist please uninstall and reinstall latest drivers available in manufacturer website.

• Right click on the driver icon and click on Update.

2. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

Meanwhile, we suggest that you refer to this article:

Mouse momentarily freezes since Windows 10 Creator edition was installed

Thank you for your response. When I select "Let me pick from a list of device on my computer" I get 2 options:

HID-Compliant device

HID-Compliant Mouse

I select "HID-Compliant Mouse" followed by the "Next" button.

The message "Windows has successfully updated your drivers" is displayed. I did not get a list of drivers to choose from.

This did not resolve the problem.

I have made a further observation as follows:

When the system is searching for drivers there is a green progress bar moves across the screen. This progress bar is also freezing at the same time that the mouse is freezing. Does this suggest that it is a display issue rather than a mouse issue?

I have also timed the freezing and it is occurring for about 1/2 a second every 2 seconds rather than that originally stated above.
