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?

It worked

Some more information that might help - when in a game, the mouse works just fine.

It is literally just within the windows environment.

Any developments yet?

Thank you, this is the only thing that worked for me. Did you ever figure out a permanent fix?

Also to note.

If you right click on the taskbar and select "task manager" you dont get your mouse back.

But if you press CTRL ALT DEL you do! weird.

Something odd going on.

No fix yet?

Some more evidence that hopefully will help.

Just turned laptop on and the mouse click only worked to drag a box on the desktop. But couldnt use it to active the taskbar at the bottom ((usually, dragging over with the mouse will make the task bar pop up).

I also couldnt click on anything on the taskbar or start bar.

But I could drag and make boxes on the desktop holding left click down.

CTRL ALT DEL brings the mouse back and I can once again use the mouse as it should be used.

Sometimes this will last for a while.. sometimes the whole session. Other times, I will keep needing to repeat the CTRL ALT DEL to get it back lots of times.

As I say, it is not a hardware issue. Wonder what it is?
