    Left mouse click intermittently acts like right click in Win 11


    I’ve noticed a problem on two separate Windows 11 devices - one for work and one for home. A significant percentage of the time - probably between 10 and 20%, when I click the left mouse button, the right click menu appears. It is not an issue with the settings being reversed, because the other 80-90% of the time it works as expected. I have noticed the behavior in Teams, Edge, Chrome, Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat Pro and several games. It appears to be a problem with the generic windows mouse drivers.My work computer is on Win 11 Enterprise, Version 21H2, OS build 22000.2295, Feature Experi

  2. Mouse left-click is acting like a right-click.

    My mouse has recently acting weird. Whenever I left-clicked the mouse, acts like a right-click however my right-click is still good. Therefore, both buttons are acting like right-clicks. Sometimes, it goes off by just leaving it a few minutes but then
    the issue returns if you used it after a few seconds. Since I'm using a laptop, both the external mouse and the touch pad had this issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse drivers but did not work. Please send a help. Thank you.

  3. Mouse left click acting like a right click

    Both my left and right click are acting like a right click. I have gone into mouse setting and made sure that the left button was selected as the primary button. I have reset the computer and I have checked for and installed updates and the problem still
    persists. What can I do to fix this problem.

    This mouse is built into the laptop itself, it is not something that I can just remove and reinstall.

    Mouse left-click is acting like a right-click.

    Thank you very much but I already tried this but it did not solve the problem. My primary button is left but still it acts weird.
