    I found the solution.

    Go to the search bar and search for "Change the mouse point display or speed." Then, go to button settings and adjust the double-click speed. Reduce the speed as you like.

    This fixed it for me.

    IT'S THE 24H2 UPDATE!
    it has everything to do with it.
    I found other people complaining about it too.
    Whom I got the solution from.

    This was posted recently, and I just updated to 24H2 so it must be an update issue.

    This didn't happen before the update.

    Same as yours.

    Performing a clean boot does not solve my problem and i do not want to create a new local administrator account on my laptop. Is there any way i can fix this problem, that come after windows update and i also got red pixel on my screen before after the update i use windows 11 genuine and still getting this annoying things because of an official update and it is taking me to the way to switch the OS from windows to another OS OR Reset my windows for no strong reason.. By changing Registry key(RegisteryEditor) can fix this thing maybe??

    Hello,

    Thanks for reaching out here in the Microsoft Answers Community.

    In Windows, no UI should require a "triple-tap". It is likely that there are third-party applications hijacking the input, or the profile has been corrupted.

    You can try performing a clean boot first to rule out the influence of third-party software, and see whether the issue persists.

    To do so, right-click Start->Task manager. Go to the "Startup" tab, and disable all startup items. Then, press Windows+R and enter "msconfig". Go to the "Services" tab, select "Hide all Microsoft services", and then select "Disable all". Select Apply and reboot. See whether the issue persists.

    Please refer to this support article for details, and how to pinpoint the application causing the issue.

    Disclaimer: A "clean boot" starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs.

    It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance; however to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step, so that it will help you get back on track.

    If the issue persists, there may be a profile corruption. Please try using a new clean profile by creating a new local administrator account.

    To do so, right-click Start->Terminal/PowerShell/Command prompt (Admin), and enter the following commands:

    net user user1 pass1 /add
    
    net localgroup administrators user1 /add
    

    (Substitute "user1" and "pass1" with the username and password of the new user.)

    After creating the user, reboot the computer, select the new user, and log in. See whether the issue persists.

    We look forward to your response.

    Best Regards,

    Sheng G. - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
