Windows 10: Mouse and keyboard acting strangely

I installed Windows 10 on my son's computer a week ago, and everything was fine until this morning.

I noticed that every link I click on opened up a new Chrome browser instance.

The mouse wheel no longer works, but the other buttons work.

The caps lock became reversed, which means that when I activate the caps lock, everything I type is in small letters. But when I turn caps lock off (according to the indicator light on the keyboard), everything is capitalized.

Every now and then, there's the sound of new hardware being plugged in. This occurs at seemingly random times throughout the day.

Are these issues all related?

Microsoft Mouse 3500 and Windows 10

Yes, I've done those things, neither resolved the problem. I also re-installed the Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse software that accompanies the 3500. For a bit, the mouse acted correctly until I put the machine to sleep and then woke it up, then it was back
to the strange Instant Viewer window.

 

Keyboard acting strange lately

Hi,

I am using HP pavilion g6-2005AX laptop running on windows 10. Laptop's keyboard is behaving strange whenever I start system after a long interval e.g. one keystroke result in multiple entries, pressing of key "s" result in one "s" and multiple "x" and space
key act as enter key etc .

Everything gets back to normal after few minutes. I have noticed this happens mostly when laptop is cold and when it gets warm things gets back to normal. The weather is cold and damp outside. Although there is no direct contact with water, do you think
the moisture in air could be the culprit?

I have already tried updating driver and troubleshoot hardware. Everything looks fine.

Thanks

Regards,

 

Hmm, I restarted Windows, and things seem to be back to normal again.

Very strange indeed.

 

Yeah ..just a flick ... for sure , go to mouse factory to install that drive ..
Mine is MS 4000 ... after install new drive ... everything is good now ..

 

I had similar problem with Dell wireless mouse ... suddenly page scrolled to bottom and "vibrated" there. Could not "grab" side-bar to bring back to top. Tried switching mouse off and used touch pad. Tried switching off pc and restarting. Nothing worked. Then I unplugged the mouse dongle and reinserted into another USB port ... Voila! Everything working smoothly again. Put the dongle back in the original USB and scrolling with mouse, wheel and touch pad still works very smoothly. (BTW, fresh batteries in mouse yesterday)

 

I have a similar problem except that the page (can be in Windows Explorer, any Office 365 application, Firefox, etc.) scrolls to the top & scrollbar can't be dragged anywhere with the mouse. Often triggered by trying to delete something using the delete key. Generally, deleting individual items (characters or messages for example) using the right mouse click menu still works. I'm using Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse but have tried using wired versions and got same result. Any suggestions welcome.
