Windows 10: Mouse clicks twice

This is an intermittent problem with my mouse. I click once, but the mouse clicks twice.


I have:

• set the Double-click speed to the lowest and still have the same problem;
• checked to see if the driver is up to date and it is; and
• changed the mouse three times and still have the same issue.

Click Twice to open links, hit buttons, close tabs

Hi Mary,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing with accessing single click option after upgrading to Windows 10. We will help you with this issue.

• Do let us know if this issue confined only with the accessing website on browsers (Which browser)?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

This problem may occur for the following reasons:

• You are inadvertently double-clicking instead of single-clicking.
• The mouse settings have been modified, either manually or by another program, to send a multiple-click command when you perform a single physical click.
• The mouse drivers are corrupted.
• The mouse hardware is defective.

Step 1: I suggest you to restore the mouse buttons to default and check if it helps.

Follow:

• Click Start, point to Settings, and then click
  Control Panel.
• Double-click Mouse.
• On the Buttons tab, click Restore Defaults. If the problem impacts only a specific program, click the
  Settings button, choose that program, and then click Restore Defaults.
  
  Note: If Restore Defaults is not available, all your button assignments are already set to default mode.
• Click OK.

If you are using external mouse, try the below.

Step 2: Test the mouse on another computer or test a different mouse on the computer To determine whether the mouse or the computer is defective, follow these steps:

• Test the mouse in question on a system that you know is working. If the problem appears to follow the mouse, you may have to return or replace the mouse.
• Test a mouse that you know is working on the computer in question. If the problem appears to remain on the computer, then the problem is most likely software-related.

Hope it helps. Get back to us with the required information for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.
