    Mouse behavior


    Anyone having problem with mouse behaving weird after recent updates? Miine will no longer respond to the functions of drop and drag, select and copy or move, etc. Sometimes I have to hold down the control key while dragging over to highlight areas. Is there another set of rules for handling the mouse lately?

    :)

    Mouse without borders mouse behavior issue

    Hi David,

    Erratic mouse behaviors may be a caused by a corrupted software or a defective device. Hence, we would like to know more:

    • Have you done any changes on your computer?
    • Are we working on a wired or a wireless device?
    • If it is a wired device, have you tried a different USB port?
    • Have you used a different mouse and check if the issue persist?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    Meanwhile, kindly check Mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows. At the bottom page is a topic
    about Hardware Troubleshooter Drivers. Please find the steps on how to update a device driver using Windows Update.

    Keep us updated with the status of the issue and we'll be glad to assist you further.

    Hi Diana,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    To have better clarity on the issue, answer the below-listed questions and get back to us.

    1. What is the model number of your HP laptop?
    2. Which update did you install prior to this issue?
    3. Are you using an external mouse or the inbuilt Touchpad of the laptop?

    I suggest you to follow the sections First, try checking your hardware and then
    Hardware Troubleshooter Drivers from
    Mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows
    and see if you are facing the same issue.

    Meanwhile, try the below methods and see if this helps.

    Method 1: Reduce the Touchpad Sensitivity.

    I would suggest you to follow the section Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities from

    TouchPad or ClickPad
    and reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and check for the issue.

    You can follow the section Opening the Touchpad Settings from the above link to open the Touchpad Settings.

    Method 2: Reinstall the Touchpad Drivers.

    Step 1: Press the Windows key and the
    R
    key from your keyboard and type Devmgmt.msc and hit
    Enter
    .

    Step 2: Double-click Mice and other pointing devices on the list to expand it.

    Step 3: Right-click on Synaptics Pointing Device and choose
    Uninstall from the list of options and click on OK.

    Step 4: Once the drivers have been successfully uninstalled,
    restart the computer once
    for the drivers to install automatically and check for the issue.

    Method 3: Clean Boot.

    If the above methods didn't work, then I would suggest you to perform a
    Clean Boot
    and check what exactly is causing the issue.

    NOTE: A 'Clean Boot' starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality
    while in a clean boot environment, however, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after you have finished your troubleshooting.

    If the Clean Boot works, then don't forget to place the computer to normal boot by going to 'Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting' section in the Clean Boot link.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking Yes or No.
