Windows 10: Mouse wont work after boot, but runs fine after running sfc?

Hi, I've been having a problem lately where after logging into windows I cant click anything, I can right click, but thats it. And if a window is open, if I left click, it deselects that window as if My mouse click clicks behind the open window. But, get this, if I open command prompt and type "sfc /scannow/, my mouse will work fine. Also SFC never finds any errors, or windows update verification errors. Can someone tell me how to fix this so I don't have to run the SFC command every time?

:)

 

USB mouse keyboard issue

USB mouse and keyboard no longer work after normal boot process. They both work fine doing diagnostics and running system restore from safe boot. After the restore the PC boots in selective mode and both work then at least for a while. In normal boot mode
they both stop after Windows (10) starts loading.

 

windows 10 upgrade now computer wont boot up at all

my dell laptop had win7 and worked fine , upgraded to win10 but it was so slow and buggy after 2 weeks and also crashed repeatedly so i was not happy with it that i tried the restore to win 7 but now it wont boot at all even with win 7 recovery disc
, safe mode not working either no keyboard or mouse running

i use win 10 at work but this laptop is my personal unit

 

Have you tried just updating your mouse driver?? sometimes that works.

 

I just tried that, and restarted my computer. It didnt fix the mouse click issue *Sad. Thanks for suggesting tho.

 

If this mouse is a USB type mouse .....try plugging it in a different usb port...

 

Do you have another mouse? My left mouse button sticks a bit from time to time.
USB mice (even wireless mice) are fairly cheap - a different input device would eliminate bad hardware as the root cause.

Is the Remote control and receiver for Windows Media Center possibly causing a conflict?

I switched USB ports, and that seemed to fix the problem! *Smile I might just get another mouse anyway, this one is old. I only switched to this one because I damaged my newer one and it wouldn't work anymore. Also, with the other mouse, a problem developed where it started jumping across the screen when I moved it, which was ok, i could still use it. but then later, it got so bad, moving the mouse would move the cursor one pixel across the screen, I was unable to fix that problem, even with switching USB ports or mice. So I reset my computer. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen again, or the mouse click problem. So thanks for the help! *Smile

Slartybart , thanks for the suggestion, but the mouse is working fine again. *Smile

 

I looked at your machine specs and saw it had a PS2 mouse & Kbd. I probably would have suggested trying a different USB port ... had I known you had a USB mouse *Wink

I picked up a wireless mse/kbd combo with a mini transceiver for about 30 USD. Wait for a sale!

I'm glad you worked it out.

 

Glad that worked for you!!! That is another good idea if you want to buy a new mouse, they can be real cheap. *Smile
