  1. Single click suddenly becoming double click


    I have tried various mouse and uninstall all mouse drivers and various other fixes but the problem still exists.

    It only started few days ago when I applied some updates.

    This was a known issue affecting many people a few years ago but was fixed but it appears to have come back again and it is a major issue.

    When single clicking it does a double click.

    Anyone else just start having this issue as well?



    I have put my money on this update causing the problem:

    How to switch single tap for a single click to a double tap for a single click???

    Thanks for the quick response but this is double clicking - not double tapping. Do you know how to perform the function of a double click with a double tap??
