Windows 10: Mouse keeps clicking everywhere. Right click at fault.

I have reset the Acer Aspire XC-603G desktop due to the mouse clicking on its own as well as right clicking.

Reset done successfully.

Mouse is better, but it's still right clicking on it's own.

This is my mom's PC.

Please help be of assistance.

Thanks,

:)

 

Mouse keeps right clicking

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

I would request you to update the chipset drivers from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

 

Mouse keeps right clicking

Hello Jessen P / Microsoft Team,

I am experiencing the same issue as leviskinner in that my mouse keeps right-clicking on its own.

I've read your suggested solution, but I need further guidance because I am unsure about something. Please refer to my queries in brackets under (c) and (d) below:

You suggested:

a: Press Windows key +X.

b: Then click Device Manager.

c: Click Universal Serial Bus Controllers
(I assume you mean expand the USB Bus Controller category by clicking on the arrowhead on the left)

d: Right click the USB (which USB as there are 2 Generic USB Hub, USB Composite Device, USB Mass Storage Device, 2 USB Root Hub and a USB Root Hub (xHCI) on my system. Kindly be more specific.)

e: Click Uninstall

then Reboot computer while mouse is inserted in USB.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi.
Have you tried a different mouse? different USB port?

 

Also, have you confirmed that the right click button on the mouse isn;t just mechanically stuck in the down position? Tap on it a few times to see if you can sense it releasing back to neutral position?

 

No, but I will try and see what happens.

 

It doesn't act as if it is stuck.

 

It almost acts as if it's got a bug or a virus. Because before I reset it, it was clicking the Start Menu automatically. At one point, it even shut the computer down or restarted it one.

 

Remote access?
Have you run scans for infections?

 

I run a quick scan daily. The quick scan didn’t detect anything.

 

Here's an online mouse tester.

I've just used it and it worked well for me except I had to use 'Force Reset' (CTRL+F5) to reset the mouse tester (or swap to the keyboard tester and back again).

Hope this helps...

 

Thank you! *Smile I will run it now to see what it detects.

 

I ran it and it seemed to check out okay. All was green.

 

I changed USB ports, and it didn’t help.

 

It seems worse this time actually.
