Mouse Not Left Clicking

So I've been trying to solve this problem for a long time but haven't gotten it to get fixed. I just found out that it isn't the mouse I have right now its something to do with my computer. I know this because I plugged in my another mouse and its really
frustrating because whenever i drag something it will let it go. So can someone please help me!

 

Right mouse click on Start Button, then left mouse click doesn't work

If I right mouse click on the Windows 10 start button and then attempt to left mouse click on the displayed items, only the bottom 4 launch. Desktop, Shutdown or sign up, Run, Search all will launch. From File Explorer up to Programs and Features will
not. Nothing happens!

I have contacted MS Support and we've created a new profile (problem remains in new profile), did an in-place upgrade (problem remained afterwards), nothing has resolved it.

Not sure what else to try at this point. Haven't come across any other anomalies using my mouse. It's a Microsoft wireless 2 button scroll wheel mouse. Seems to work fine everywhere else I've tried.

Thoughts? Things to try?

Thanks!!!

 

Hi, if you could advise the type/manufacturer/means of communication of your mouse, someone might be able to advise better.

I'm guessing from your comments it might be a wireless mouse.

Please also advise if you've been able to try it on another PC, or were previously using it with a different version of Windows, for example.

 

hi..I did not even think of trying it on another pc, but I did. its not so bad on windows 7 as it is on 10. I changed the batteries twice.
I guess I need a new mouse huh

also my keyboard is cordless and when I am trying to put in a question mark...I get this È
for the apostrophy I get this è

how can I fix that plz

It could even be as simple as muck inside the mouse. I had to take mine apart to remove accumulated cat hairs that affect scrolling, but the switches for the buttons are sealed micro-switches, so any muck would have to affect mechanical movement.

Sorry, I've no idea about your keyboard- obviously again, try it on another PC to split the problem... perhaps someone else can help.

 

thank you for the reply
