    Hi,

    Provide the answers to the following for us to be able to learn more about the issue you're experiencing with your mouse device:

    • Is your Windows 10 up-to-date?
    • Are your drivers updated? If not yet, you can follow the steps found on this
      link
      on how to update your drivers in Windows 10.

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to find and repair the problems with your devices and hardware.

    • Open the Control Panel.
    • Choose Large icons from the View by dropdown list found at the upper-right part of the Control Panel window.
    • Locate then click Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all from the left pane.
    • Click Hardware and Devices.
    • Follow the steps on how to run the troubleshooter.
    Note: Make sure that you have administrator rights before running the troubleshooter.

    left mouse buttion not working

    Thanks for all these helpful information, Glen. First step that we can try is to isolate if this is a hardware or software issue.

    If your keyboard is connected via USB, have you tried plugging it to a different USB port and still get the same results? If you have other working mouse, try it onto your PC and see if the issue will persist and let us know.

    As for the software side, check if your drivers are updated to the latest version, particularly with the
    mouse driver. If that didn't fix the issue, follow the steps listed below to perform Windows 10 Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter:

    • Ttype Troubleshooting on the Cortana search box and hit the Enter key.
    • Click View All located on the top left corner of the control Panel window.
    • Click Hardware and Devices.
    • Run the troubleshooter.

    Try out these steps and let us know the outcome.
