Left click problems in Windows 11.

Tags: Windows

I upgraded to Windows 11. All was fine except after ~1 day, the mouse left-click becomes unstable.
The mouse’s left-click only works some of the time, else no response.

Use another mouse. Is it fixed then?

Have to agree with kees

Not likely a software issue and more likely a failing mouse.

To fix the issue where your left mouse click won’t work on Windows 11, update or reinstall your mouse driver. Additionally, change the double-click settings to Fast, and restart Explorer. If the issue persists, run the Bluetooth and Hardware troubleshooters, and use a different mouse

It’s advisable to make sure your mouse drivers are always up-to-date. If the left click isn’t working, you definitely need to check them. Right-click on the Start Menu and then choose Device Manager.
Next, use your keyboard arrows to scroll down to Mice and other pointing devices and press Enter. Select your mouse and press Enter again. The Properties window will open.
Use Tab and the arrow keys to navigate to the Driver tab and select Update Drivers. Windows will take care of the rest.

Try re-installing your mouse drivers.

Open Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional mouse opens. Mouse Properties will open. Click on the Buttons tab. Check Turn on the Click Lock option and click Apply.
