    Problem where my mouse becomes unable to click on anything but keyboard still somewhat works


    The problem started a few months ago, where my mouse stops clicking on anything, however cursor still moves, keyboard somewhat works and background apps still run.Things I've tried:- I've clean wiped reformatted my computer twice, the problem came back a few days after that.-Switching mice doesn't work-Windows is on latest version Windows 11, Windows updates are up-to-date-Ctrl+Alt+Del then click on cancel only temporarily resolves the problem-Restarting explorer.exe does not work.-Restarting computer also only works temporarily.

    Problem where my mouse becomes unable to click on anything but keyboard still somewhat works

    Mouse and keyboard won't work after bios

    Hi,

    One possible reason that your mouse and keyboard is not working is due to an outdated or corrupted drivers. Since you've recently made an update, there might be drivers that are having compatibility issues
    that needs to be addressed.

    We suggest that you run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter by following the steps below:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot.
    • Under Find and fix other problems, select
      Hardware and Devices > Run the troubleshooter.

    If the issue still persists,
    follow the troubleshooting steps provided in Mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows
    article.

    Update us with the results and let us know if you need further assistance.
