Windows 10: Mouse randomly clicks the left button highly annoying.

Hi ,My mouse randomly clicks the left button highly annoying. I have changed mice still happens, so not a hardware issue.I have followed online tutorials about folder view, select double click option - system config stuff and reinstalling drivers but none of it has helped. I play Fortnite and this glitch now causes me to randomly fire my weapon which gives away my position and wastes ammo. It does similar things in other games too.Some days its fine, and some days it may be occasional and other days it is relentless. Also happens in office etc.I have paid antivirus software so doubt its a viru

Mouse randomly clicks all by itself

I'm running Windows 10 on a Lenovo T460s laptop. The laptop has recently developed this strange problem with the mouse. It's very similar to the problem described in this ticket:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...y-itself/878e0f10-ee01-449e-afc5-eb657af3d642

The issue reproduces no matter what mouse I use:

• Logitech bluetooth mouse
  
• Logitech wireless USB dongle mouse
• Microsoft Comfort wired USB mouse
• The Machine's touchpad

Steps I've taken to troubleshoot the issue:

• I disabled the touchpad
• I uninstalled Logitech software which was recommended by Logitech for the bluetooth mouse
• I updated the driver for the touchpad (it was already up to date)
• I tried a clean boot (according to the MS support instructions)
• Bought a new mouse
• Changed touchpad sensitivity to "low"
• Uninstalled the driver for the touchpad (synaptics pointing device) - weirdly, when I restarted there was a new device listed in the device manager called "PS/2 compatible mouse" and the touchpad now works again, and I can no longer find the setting to
  disable it. So, that's strange. But apparently it's now using a Microsoft driver, which was the next thing to try - installing MS generic driver...

I'll try to describe the behavior a little better than the other ticket:

The cursor randomly left-clicks and holds. If I move the mouse when this happens, it drags whatever the cursor was on or it selects text, exactly as if I were holding the left mouse button. It randomly releases, too. Sometimes, it lasts only for a quick
second, but sometimes it really gets stuck. When it is stuck, right-clicking usually releases it so I can continue working. Left-clicking doesn't help, I can left-click repeatedly and it doesn't release, when I use the touchpad buttons or the USB mouse buttons.
Keyboard actions also don't have any effect on the behavior, as far as I can tell.

Hi KathZ,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Which version of Windows you are using? (To check, type: winver in start menu and hit enter.)
  
• Does this issue occur on a different mouse?
  

This issue happens, if there is mouse/hardware issue or it can be settings issue. I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps as mentioned below:

Method 1: Restore the defaults.

1. Press Windows
   and E key together on your Keyboard.
   
2. Go to View tab on the top.
   
3. Click on Options > Click on Change folder and Search options.
   
4. Click on Restore Defaults.
   Click on Apply and Ok.
   

Method 2: Change the Mouse settings.

1. Click on the Settings icon from the start menu.
   
2. Click on Devices > Click on Mouse from the left panel of the window.
3. Click on Additional Mouse Options from the right pane.
   
4. This will open the Mouse Properties window, go to Buttons tab.
   
5. Under the Double click speed, drag the slider to the left to slow down the double click speed.
   
6. Next, go to Pointer options tab, uncheck the "Enhance Pointer Precision" to
   disable pointer precision to slow down the mouse.

For more information, I would suggest you to follow the
steps
provided in the post on 'Windows 10 mouse has started double clicking on single click randomly'.

Hope it helps.
