Windows 10: Left click mouse

Hi all.

Ive searched and googled until Im exhausted, finallay joined here to see if theres help.

Using win10 om acer aspire laptop.
I changed my mouse to a wired red led light under neath.
Now whenever I left click on a file/folder/picture etc etc on the desktop nothing happens
Its set for single click
If i click again then another file/folder/picture opens at random.

I then have to go back to the original file/folder/picture i want to open and double click it.
Then the file/folder/picture I want to open ...opens.

I have changed the mouse 2 x
Updated driver
Updated all windows updates.
Changed from single click to double click (even in double click nothing changes)
Have malware, advanced system care, spybot, sfc, checkdisk, adaware, system restore, even borrowed a wireless mouse...........still the same happens everday

Can someone help me, as it only happens on the desktop, where most of my files/folder are

Thanks

:)

Hi Rob,

The issue might be due to corrupted or missing driver software of your mouse. We suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to diagnose the problem. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel.
• Set the view to Small icons or Large icons.
• Choose Troubleshooting.
• On the left panel, go to View all.
• Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

Let us know if you require further assistance.

 

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.
