  1. Windows 10 - Mouse clicks not registering


    Hello Microsoft Support Team,I want to report an issue that has been reported many times in the past but has never been solved.The issue is that Windows 10 will, under unknown circumstances or causes, stop detecting mouse clicks left-click or right-click.I have validated that my mouse works in other computers, and other mice works in my computer, so the mice isn't the issue.Locking Windows key + L or doing Ctrl+ Alt + Del seems to "reset" the mouse detection and clicks work again.When I am working within an app or a game, this issue doesn't occur. It only happens when I am switching betwee

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Mouse not registering all clicks and sensitivity dropping

    Hi,

    This issue likely occurs if the driver needs to be updated. Since you recently purchased and installed a new mouse, it's possible that the necessary driver for it is not yet installed, or the driver might be incompatible or corrupted. We'd like to know the
    following so we can better assist you.

    • What's the make and model of your mouse?
    • Is the issue the same with a different mouse?
    • Are you experiencing the same issue when connecting the mouse on a different device?

    Meanwhile, to troubleshoot your mouse issue, we suggest running the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. It will try to identify and resolve the issue automatically. To do so, please refer to these steps:

    • From the Start menu, type troubleshooting and press
      Enter.
    • Under Hardware and Sound, click Configure a device and then click
      Next. Wait for the scan to be completed.

    Afterwards, if the issue persists, we recommend updating the mouse driver.
    If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try checking for one on your device manufacturer's website.

    Get back to us with the result.
