Windows 10: Random right clicking and other mouse issues

I am running Windows 10 on a desktop PC. This issue has suddenly appeared three days ago, everything was working perfectly fine before that.My mouse has started randomly right clicking. Sometimes, the right click context menu will pop up. Other times, I will not be able to click anything for example switch tabs in a web browser until I manually right click. This hints to me that the right click button is stuck on "pressed" mode for this time, i.e. the mouse right-clicks and holds. At times, I can work for hours without this issue popping up, then, suddenly, the issue will come and the mouse

mouse is not working right


unfortunately there isn't a lot to a usb mouse. what i would suggest is checking the power management settings on it.

Right-click the start menu and choose device manager
Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers at the very bottom
Double-click on each HUB you have listed, click Power Management Tab at the top, and UNCHECK "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power"
You may have HUBs called Generic and Root Hub. Perform the step above on All of them.

If you continue to have the issue, i would imagine your mouse is malfunctioning. Perhaps try another mouse just to be sure. This will help you determine if it is in fact the mouse of computer causing the issue.

Good Luck!!
