    Mouse pointer does not change to resize or hyperlink when hovering over edges of windows or...


    New Dell Latitude laptop, same problem with a variety of mice tried - wired & wireless. When trying to hover over the edge/corner of a window to resize the point "jumps" several mm right and up. If I click in just the right place the resize pointed appears while I'm holding the mouse button, but then it disappears when I release.

    For hyperlinks, the "finger" pointer does now appear, even though clicking the link works correctly otherwise. Changing mouse settings to use other sets of pointers does not fix this problem - it seems to only use the standard white arrow pointer regardless.

    :)

    How to stop Mouse Pointer auto selecting when hovering over a hyperlink in Windows 10

    When typing and working in multiple screens I am often frustrated that the mouse pointer is left hovering over a hyperlink which is then autoselected opening the corresponding link. How can this be disabled in Windows 10? I don't see anything under the
    "Ease of Access" tabs. In all my searching I can't seem to find an answer to this question. Appreciate your help.

    Hyperlinks opens just hovering the mouse pointer on it.

    *Original Title: problems with pointer

    I installed windows 10 about 2 months ago. Suddenly, just today, my cursor automatically "clicks" any time it hovers over an active link. I want to change the settings so that the cursor will only "click" when I force it to. Any suggestions?

    Mouse pointer does not change to resize or hyperlink when hovering over edges of windows or...

    Hovering mouse pointer over launches the program in Windows 10.

    Original Title: When my pointer hovers over ANYTHING in Windows 10 it automatically opens programs or selects things without any clicking, etc (using the Synaptics laptop built in mouse pad)

    Even though I have gone to Control Panels and tried to disable this function, I can't change it. The cursor, especially when navigating from one web page and into a new page, selects whatever link it's hovering over. Even the control in the Ease of Access
    Center/Make Your Mouse Easier to Use does not disable this. Does anyone have a solution for this problem in Windows 10?
