    Mouse focuses on one window, does not switch. Also middle mouse click not working


    Hello,I've had this weird problem for weeks now. My mouse, seemingly at random, doesn't focus the window I click on but instead returns to focus that which was in focus when it the problem started. For example: I'm in browser window A but when i click on browser window B, it automatically returns to focus A. I can get browser B into focus by ALT+TAB to it but when i click it returns to A.If it is a program that is in focus I can do everything inside the window but can't switch to anything else. While the problem is ongoing I can't switch tabs in my browser by left clicking but if I left clic

  2. mouse is not working right


    unfortunately there isn't a lot to a usb mouse. what i would suggest is checking the power management settings on it.

    Right-click the start menu and choose device manager
    Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers at the very bottom
    Double-click on each HUB you have listed, click Power Management Tab at the top, and UNCHECK "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power"
    You may have HUBs called Generic and Root Hub. Perform the step above on All of them.

    If you continue to have the issue, i would imagine your mouse is malfunctioning. Perhaps try another mouse just to be sure. This will help you determine if it is in fact the mouse of computer causing the issue.

    Good Luck!!

  3. Mouse not working

    Hi MaalisuoKofi,

    It appears that your mouse is no longer detected on your computer. The possible reasons why its no longer working could be hardware or driver issues. For us to isolate and address this issue, we would like to ask the following information:

    • Are you using a laptop or a desktop computer?
    • If a desktop, are you using a USB or wireless mouse?

    Since the issue appeared after an OS installation, we suggest that you run the hardware troubleshooter. Follow these steps:

    • In the Cortana search, search for Troubleshooting.
    • Click Troubleshooting in the search results.
    • In the left pane, click View all.
    • Locate and click Hardware and Devices.
    • Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

    You may also refer to Mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows for more information.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.

    Mouse focuses on one window, does not switch. Also middle mouse click not working

    How do I get the middle mouse button to work? Comfort Mouse 4500

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We will need few more details so that we can narrow down to the root cause of the issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps.



    1. Have you tried a similar mouse in the current system to check if the mouse wheel button works?


    You can try few of the troubleshooting below and check if that works for you.



    Method 1: Uninstall Mouse driver.



    1. Open Device manager.
    2. Expand the Mice and other pointing devices.
    3. Select your Mouse driver.
    4. Right Click and uninstall it.
    5. Reboot the computer and check.


    After the system is rebooted, you can repeat the same steps, to uninstall keyboard driver, you will have to expand Keyboards category to uninstall keyboard.



    If you still face the issue, try next method.



    Method 2: Uninstall USB root hub.



    I suggest you to check the article
    USB devices may stop functioning correctly when multiple devices connected to the same USB hub go into selective suspend
    , follow the troubleshooting steps and check if this helps you.

    Disclaimer: The registry is a database in Windows that contains important information about system hardware, installed programs and settings, and profiles of each of the user accounts
    on the computer. Windows often reads and updates the information in the registry.

    Normally, software programs make registry changes automatically. You should not make unnecessary changes to the registry. Changing registry files incorrectly can cause Windows to stop working or make Windows report the wrong information.



    I suggest you to
    back up your registry
    before making any changes.



    Method 3: Download and install driver manually.



    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall the current mouse driver

    download and install the driver from Microsoft website
    .



    You can also Press Left Alt+ Shift key on your keyboard to switch language.



    If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.
