Mouse suddenly requires multiple clicks to function

Question

In the past couple days my Microsoft wireless mouse has started to require multiple clicks (as many as 3 -5) to open something or get focus.  How do I fix this?  I've replaced the batteries even though there was no indication of them going bad.  I've also performed a sfc /scannow which found nothing.  What is causing this?

Answer 1

I had same problem for months and driving me crazy.

I was convicted that this is hardware problem and was looking to buy keyboard and mouse like everybody else.

I have Microsoft sculpt ergonomic mouse and keyboard Bluetooth

but seems that this is windows 10 bug.

there's several solutions I did

- Device manager Bluetooth device uninstall Bluetooth usb dongle drivers (if have any) and uninstall all Bluetooth drivers (my mouse and keyboard use Bluetooth connectivity) and other Bluetooth drivers could mess-up

- in mouse settings increase double click speed

- in mouse settings uncheck enhance pointer precision

- device manager show hidden devices and remove double **** mouse and keyboard drivers

• device manager go universal serial bus controllers properties and remove allow computer to turn off device to save power, in power options

- in control panel power options high performance change advanced power settings, USB settings USB selective suspend settings - Disable

That's how I solved mouse double click or not click at all problem. also a keyboard missing letters when typing.

now it is working finally.

maybe this helps to someone.

My problem is that sometimes when I click my mouse it doesn't work at all, and it requires muliple clicks to function it even though something only takes one click to open.
