    Right clicking on mouse not working. Also unable to copy and paste


    Hello,

    Right clicking on mouse is not working. It does nothing. Cannot copy and paste either. This has happened in the last couple of weeks. All drivers are updated. I have tried many of the suggestions and it still doesn't work. Windows 10 desktop, wired mouse, dell PC

    Please help me.

    :)

    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!!

    I cannot highlight, right click copy and paste.....

    Hi Heather,

    Aside from the couple of updates installed, there could be other changes performed on your computer that may have caused the copy and paste function to not work properly.

    For us to properly sort out this problem, we would like to verify the following:

    • Are you using the mouse to highlight, right click, copy, and paste?
    • Are you experiencing the same issue when accessing a different website?
    • Have you tried to use the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+ V functions?

    In the meantime, try to completely shutdown your PC,then turn it back on and observe if the same issue persists.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.

    Right clicking on mouse not working. Also unable to copy and paste

    I cannot copy and paste on Windows 10. I can copy but am unable to paste. The right hand click on the mouse does not do anything

    Hi!

    Ctrl +C for copy, Ctrl + V for paste. Right click hardware may be broken. Your copy of W10 may be broken. My copy of W10, copies and pastes with mouse click, so there is nothing wrong with W10.
