USB mouse is not working on Windows 10

Hi Bill,

I realize that the USB mouse is not working. I will try to help you with this issue.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

• 
  Which MS Fix-it are you referring to?
  
• 
  Is the issue specific to this USB mouse?
  

Unplug the mouse, restart the PC and then plug in the mouse to check if that helps. You may also plug in the mouse to another USB port to check if that helps. You may plug in any other USB device in to this PC to check if that device gets recognized.

If the USB mouse is not getting recognized after you plug it in then run the hardware troubleshooter. Once this is done, restart the computer to check if this helps.

• 
  Press “Windows key + X” to click on “Control Panel”.
  
• 
  Click on “Troubleshooting” and click on “View all”.
  

Click on “Hardware and Devices” to run the troubleshooter. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if this helps.

Keep us informed to help you further.

 

Mouse randomly clicks all by itself

I'm running Windows 10 on a Lenovo T460s laptop. The laptop has recently developed this strange problem with the mouse. It's very similar to the problem described in this ticket:

Cursor clicks on things randomly all by itself

The issue reproduces no matter what mouse I use:

• Logitech bluetooth mouse
  
• Logitech wireless USB dongle mouse
• Microsoft Comfort wired USB mouse
• The Machine's touchpad

Steps I've taken to troubleshoot the issue:

• I disabled the touchpad
• I uninstalled Logitech software which was recommended by Logitech for the bluetooth mouse
• I updated the driver for the touchpad (it was already up to date)
• I tried a clean boot (according to the MS support instructions)
• Bought a new mouse
• Changed touchpad sensitivity to "low"
• Uninstalled the driver for the touchpad (synaptics pointing device) - weirdly, when I restarted there was a new device listed in the device manager called "PS/2 compatible mouse" and the touchpad now works again, and I can no longer find the setting to
  disable it. So, that's strange. But apparently it's now using a Microsoft driver, which was the next thing to try - installing MS generic driver...

I'll try to describe the behavior a little better than the other ticket:

The cursor randomly left-clicks and holds. If I move the mouse when this happens, it drags whatever the cursor was on or it selects text, exactly as if I were holding the left mouse button. It randomly releases, too. Sometimes, it lasts only for a quick
second, but sometimes it really gets stuck. When it is stuck, right-clicking usually releases it so I can continue working. Left-clicking doesn't help, I can left-click repeatedly and it doesn't release, when I use the touchpad buttons or the USB mouse buttons.
Keyboard actions also don't have any effect on the behavior, as far as I can tell.
