I noticed when I have the problem a small white dot appears over the taskbar in the middle of the screen. After doing a CTRL-ALT-DELETE and clicking twice (click once does nothing) within the dialog box, the white dot fades away and the mouse/cursor functionality returns to normal. This seems to happen at random, and I can't seem to find the offending process.
My computer cursor won’t click on anything but it moves just fine , this is a windows ten I bought three years ago by the way. Anyone know why?
My computer won’t click on anything at all but it moves just fine. The computer just started acting up this morning. Anyone know why?

screenshots also could help

2024-07-29T18:50:44+00:00 I have recently been having this issue. I thought it was related to a mouse I spilled on, but the non-clicking issue is all of the devices. What I learned, though it is not ideal, is I go to force a reboot, (CTRK+ALT+DEL), the lock/sign out/reboot etc screen pops up and suddenly I can click again. I hit ESC and go back to working. Not a permanent fix, but it is slightly quicker. It also indicates to me it is a OS/App/driver issue, not hardware. I still cannot figure it out.
