Windows 10: My Mouse Has Two Problems! When left clicking once, it double clicks & my scroll doesn't...

Hello! I have two issues with my mouse. Sometimes, when I left click only once, it double clicks. For example, usually, when I double click on a folder, that's how it's supposed to open. But right now, sometimes when I left click once, the mouse accidentally double clicks and opens the "Folder" (even while doing other things, I'll accidentally click on something). I've tried a lot of things to fix the left click.

1. Shutting and turning back on my computer

2. Fixing the inside of the "Mouse."

So far, none of those options worked.

The second problem I have is my "Scroll" does not sound as noisy than what it was before. For example, my mouse scroll usually is suppose to sound a little "Noisier" than what I've did to it now. When I was trying to solve the issue for my left click, I took out the "Scroll," and there is this one piece that fell while removing the wheel. It's the one that wraps around the "Post" in the center of the wheel.

It took me a while to replace the piece correctly to the wheel. After I've finally put the mouse back together (correctly), I noticed while I was scrolling the "Wheel," it sounded a little quieter.


I'm kind of scared right now because I don't know what to do to solve these issues.

So here are two questions. Is there any way how I can solve these issues? Or do I have to get a new mouse?


The mouse I have is a: Dell 9rrc7 - black optical 3-button scroll wheel USB mouse (for Dell computers)


If this does not make sense or if you have any questions, please let me know. And I'll try my best to explain better.

Thank You!

Single-click or double-click?

As the title says, do you single-click or double-click on your shortcuts to open your apps?

I'm a fan of single-click, the only downside is that often when I click on a message in de list of my mails in Outlook it can open the mail in a window...
Not always but besides that, single-click works best for me.

 

Single-click or double-click?

Yes.

 

Mouse started double clicking on single click file randomly.

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.
