Windows 10: Wireless Mouse Problems

I am suddenly having wireless mouse problems. I have two or three wireless mice, and they are all having the same effect. I have a wired USB mouse and the problem does not repeat itself there.


The problem is that they are not working correctly. For instance, a right click with my wired mouse will produce the options menu, a right click with one of the wireless mice produces nothing. I have checked the USB drivers through my device manager and they all say that they are up to date, although some of them seem to be repeated see below - should I delete the duplicated ones? Is there a wireless driver somewhere that I should check?
