Windows 10: Setting/Program to limit how frequently mouse clicks are registered

So recently my mouse has started acting up, and has this issue where, when I left click, it will sometimes register multiple left clicks in a very brief span, often double clicking things when I just wanted to left click. I know for a fact its a hardware issue, and apparently a common one for Logitech mice.I'm curious if there's a software solution to this problem, since the double clicks are far faster than I could ever actually click manually. So if there's a program or windows setting that would put a very small delay between click inputs being received that could solve my problem.

Automated mouse clicking program

I am looking for a mouse clicking program where I can set it up either recording my mouse movements and clicks or just type in the X and Y axis I want it to go to.

I would also like to schedule this to happen at certain times during the day as well. And have it be able to be scheduled more than a 1 time thing. So it would need to be decently robust with scheduling.

Is there a program that does both?

 

Win 10 registering mouse clicks on its own

I recently downloaded update 1909 on my Asus laptop and began noticing issues with the mouse afterwards (both the touchpad and a USB mouse). The issues have gotten progressively worse over time.

1. First noticeable issue was when I was browsing webpages I noticed that occasionally it would act as though I had clicked the mouse wheel on my USB mouse causing the pages to scroll horizontally or vertically with mouse movement.
2. Second noticeable issue was left clicking to select a different browser tab (edge, firefox, and chrome) would close the tab similar to a mouse wheel click.
3. Third noticeable issue spread beyond browsers into regular navigation of the OS. Mouse clicks would be recognized on the desktop but not work on any windows or the taskbar. I could move the cursor around on a window and where the cursor was would highlight,
   indicating that the location was being registered, but when clicking nothing would happen.
4. Finally the OS has started registering clicks that are not occurring where ever the cursor is pointing.

Troubleshooting that I have already attempted based upon searches online:

• Tested multiple browsers (issues 1 and 2), including edge, firefox, and chrome.
• Uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated the mouse and touchpad drivers
• Disabled the touchpad with the manufacturer's keyboard function
• Disabled the touchpad with device manager
• Disabled the USB mouse with device manager
• Disabled both the touchpad and the USB mouse with device manager (note: this seems to resolve issues, but obviously limits me to navigation by keyboard only)
• Disconnected the USB mouse (note: this resolves if the touchpad is disabled in device manager as well, but again limits navigation to keyboard only)
• Gone back to the previous version
• Clean boot
• Safe boot
• Disabled all non-Microsoft services and startup apps in msconfig and task manager
• Disabled all Microsoft services and startup apps in msconfig and task manager
• Attempted to reset (both with and without keeping personal files) in recovery options (both fail instantly, leading me to believe that the restore points are now corrupted as well)
• Verified click lock is not enabled in settings
• Created a new administrator user account (note: somehow the new account has even worse issues and is unable to access the start menu at all)
• Disconnected from the internet and verified remote desktop is disabled

My household has 2 of the exact same laptops (Asus FX-53VD) and the 2nd one has also started the progression of issues after installing the update (currently at issue 1).

I'm open to any suggestions or other troubleshooting tips. Thanks in advance.
