I've been dealing with a frustrating mouse issue for a few months now and haven't been able to fix it.

The Problem:​

  • Left-click failure: The left mouse button randomly stops working.
  • Temporary freezes: The mouse cursor regularly freezes or stops responding entirely for a few seconds.
  • Window focus lock: The mouse completely stops clicking on other windows, the taskbar, or the Start menu. However, it continues to work perfectly fine inside whatever specific window/app I was using at the exact moment the bug occurred.

What I've tried so far:​

  • Completely reinstalled Windows (clean install/format).
  • Tested with different mice (swapped between two different brands).
  • Uninstalled, updated, and reinstalled all kinds of mouse and USB drivers.
Nothing has worked so far; the error keeps happening.

System Specs:​

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Mice tested: Havit and Redragon
  • CPU: Intel Core i7-12700F
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 8GB
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD

Check whether Filter Keys is set to On at Settings, Accessibility, Keyboard. If so, try setting that to Off.

Apparently this setting can affect the focus of mouse clicks as well as entry of keyboard keys.
