Windows 10: Primary mouse button changes itself every day

I have two fairly new Dell Inspiron desktop computers running Windows 10. A few months ago, the primary mouse button started changing itself from left click to right click, on both desktop computers. This happens every single day and every single day I have to change the setting back to left click and it's driving me crazy. This appears to have been caused by a Windows update but its been several months and this still has not been resolved with subsequent updates. When will this be fixed?

primary mouse button changes itself

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 several days ago, I have been having problems with my mouse. Without any apparent reason, the primary mouse button setting changes, but without actually changing the setting in the settings panel. So if I have my primary
button set to left, when it changes all by itself, the right button becomes the primary button. But when I go to the settings panel, it still says that my left button is the primary button, but it is actually working as if it had been set to the right button.

As a short term fix, I can set the mouse settings panel to be opposite what I want and have it function as intended, at least until the setting changes on it's own again, or I restart the machine. If the button was set opposite for the short term fix, it
will have to be set back again when the machine is restarted.
