Windows 10: Stupid mouse keeps doubling my single-clicks

I believe you! Now when I really start to think about this, I sometimes have a bit of issues with right button clicks on 2 computers, 2 different mice and even experience the same issue on both touch pads. Especially in Edge browser. How likely would it be that all 4 hardware are broken?

 

this ^^

 

I'm gonna try installing another OS and see if it freaks out on that as well.

 

You can just run a live Linux distro.

 

Yeah, that works, too.

 

Well, I tried Mint and it DOES NOT do the annoying double-click thing. So it's Windows, then.

 

Which driver ?



Never a problem with this one but Intelimouse driver used to do all kinds of weird stuff.

 

It's the generic Microsoft HID driver. Same as the one pictured above.

 

Have you tried to slow double click down ?

That's occurred to me, but it's still an indication of a problem that shouldn't exist.

First, I just want to make sure that when we are saying "double click", we mean it is acting like a double click, just as it would, as one poster mentioned, when you have selected the Folder Options>General setting "Single-click to open an item".

That's what is happening to me. and since I am not alone, to see this topic here right up front and current hints to me that it it's likely a Windows problem.

For instance, I use the Firefox profile manager. You select one of the profiles to launch by double clicking on it.Attachment 149045

But now I barely touch it and it launches the browser. Same thing with executables, etc., and files that aren't supposed to launch, like .xpi files, where you get the dialog asking you how you want to open them.

I wouldn't say it's random, but It doesn't happen all the time. I have to be very cautious how I click. Really annoying.

When I try to think back, I started noticing it around the same time the KB4025342 cumulative update was installed on my machine, July 16, 2107. Could just be a coincidence, but worth mentioning.

 

I meant that slider in my picture. Slide to left. Unlike setup in FF, it's system wide.

 

I completely get what your saying.

That Firefox reference I made is about clicking the Firefox executable to "launch" the browser (which is precisely what you are doing when you select the profile, a system related function), and how extremely sensitive the mouse had become, not about how the mouse performs inside the browser.

All I'm saying is, if the system is working normally, you shouldn't need to adjust that slider to determine whether or not your mouse performs double click action with a single click.

Perhaps the Firefox example was a bit obscure or unnecessary. I was just trying to illustrate one of the ways it what was happening to me.*Wink

 

Yeah, it opens files when I click once on them, and that "single-click to open" option is disabled, and my double-click speed has been adjusted to far left and far right, with the same result.

 

There's a lot of things that should or should not happen but aren't/are happening, that's what adjustments are for.

 

That's fine. I don't disagree. I have no problem with a workaround, but in the meantime this is a Windows 10 problem, and you can wager it's affecting plenty of users and should be corrected.
