    Weird issue with Windows not responding to mouse clicks


    This was a small, non-issue previously; I would turn on my computer, login to Windows and sometimes I wouldn't be able to click anything on my taskbar. Hitting the Windows key on my keyboard fixed this. This happened before the anniversary update and changing GPU, but it hasn't been happening since Windows 10.

    Today, I had to restart 3 times and reinstall my mouse drivers, and each restart only restored partial functionality.
    1st restart: Nothing changed, replugged my mouse, still nothing. I could right click my desktop and select anything from the menu, which proves my mouse is working fine. Even if I hit Windows + 1 (Shortcut to open first app in Taskbar, in my case, IE) if I click on IE it acts as if I clicked off of it. Navigating with the keyboard is fine.
    2nd restart: Nothing until I replugged my mouse again, then after a few seconds I could click the start menu and pinned apps, navigate the web etc. but couldn't use Windows mail, click anything from the start menu etc.
    3rd restart after reinstalling mouse drivers: Fixed and back to normal

    I'm thinking it could be an issue with my mouse firmware, I could report to Mionix to see what they say. Other than that, I don't know.*cry

    :)

    Windows 10 laptop not responding to mouse clicks or touchpad gestures. Must switch off and restart.

    Hi Rob,

    Corrupted system files is one of the possible reason why you are having issues after the Creators update, we suggest that you run the
    System File Checker tool and the Deployment Image Servicing and Management
    tool to scan and correct any issues. System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in tool in the operating system. SFC checks for system file corruption. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool that can be used to service a
    Windows image or to prepare a Windows Preinstallation Environment image.

    Kindly follow the steps in this article posted by ZigZag3143 (MS-MVP)
    to perform SFC and DISM:
    System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot.


    Let us know if you need further assistance.

  3. Windows 10 laptop not responding to mouse clicks or touchpad gestures. Must switch off and restart.

    I've had the same problem since the update. Also, a couple times a day the entire system will lock up. A dialog box comes up saying that Windows is not responding and I can end the task or wait. I can't change windows. IfI mouse over the start bar i get
    a busy circle pointer.

    Nothing happens no matter how long i wait or how many times i tell it to end the process. I've gotten dozens of the box in a row. Nothing happens if i hit ctrl-alt-delete. Eventually i have to hard power down my laptop.

    I ran the sfc tool and it found no problems. I tried to run dism but it claims not to find the commands when i enter them and i can't figure out how to access the help.
