desktop not responding to mouse clicks windows 10

I downloaded it as a free trial but the software is unresponsive to left mouse clicks, so it's just sitting here.

Someone in the internet recommended Malware Bytes. I've already scanned for viruses, but Avast found nothing. The browser's interface itself is 100% unresponsive to right clicks and only partially responsive to left clicks: I can click on the button to open a new tab and then close old tabs I have, but trying to click on an old tab to switch to it yields no results Chrome detects the cursor when I hover it over the menu icon (the icon turns darker) but is unresponsive when I click on it Chrome remains unresponsive if I try to select the url bar, etc. Let me talk about Google Chrome as an example:Īny page I visit is 100% responsive to my left button clicks and 100% unresponsive to my right button clicks. The system remains completely unresponsive to right button clicks.Įvery software in my PC is also only partially responsive to mouse clicks, but, unlike the task bar, their situation does not improve with ctrl+alt+del.

However, if I ctrl+alt+del and open the task manager, the task bar will become responsive again, while the desktop icons will also become responsive but will act strangely: every time I left click on them, the options bar drops down, as if I had right clicked the icon. For example: when I turn the computer on, the task bar and the desktop icons are completely unresponsive to mouse clicks. Now, I know it's not the mouse's fault because I've already connected the mouse in a different USB port and the problem remains the same: the system still responds to the mouse clicks under certain circumstances.

No new hardware or new software installed, and sudenly my system became partially unresponsive to my mouse. The circumstances are quite odd, I believe, so please bear with me as I detail them at length.Ī few hours ago, I was using my computer as usual, Windows 7. My issue is basically summed up in the title.
