  1. Mouse buttons keep switching while using Windows


    Three different devices; one brand-new PC with Windows 11; one two-year-old PC with Windows 10; and one one-year-old laptop with Windows 11. For the last few days, inexplicably, the primary mouse button keeps changing from left to right. This is happening DURING use - not necessarily on reset. It's happened today, for me, multiple times in a two-hour period.So: It's not the mouse. It's not the USB port the laptop is using the trackpad; it's not a driver issue, as all three computers are using different drivers. What the heck is going on here? How do we solve this??

  2. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Medina,

    If your mouse can be switched then the setting for it is in

    • Settings,
    • Devices,
    • Mouse,
    • Additional mouse options,
    • Buttons tab,
    • Button configuration - Switch primary & secondary buttons.
