On an irregular (but reliable) basis I run into an issue where the bottom corner of my screen is unresponsive to my mouse. A reboot makes it go away, but I know it's coming back at some point.
The area of the screen affected is roughly 25% of the height of the monitor and 20% of the width, right above the taskbar tray area. I've got a desktop running Windows 10 and two non-touch monitors. Only the main monitor is affected. A square also appears on the screen like a really big pixel (see the picture below). That square doesn't seem to do anything. I can right-click or left-click it and nothing happens.
Anywhere below or to the right of that square my mouse will do nothing, except on the taskbar - that works fine. But for apps that are open that area of the screen is dead to me. For example, if I click on the page slider near the bottom of the screen (the empty part that should make it jump a page at a time) then it doesn't move the page. If, however, I click on the page bar and drag it down I can keep dragging it until I hit bottom (which is in the dead part of the screen). That makes it even more confounding to me.
I've found people with similar problems, but haven't found a solution for my particular situation. It seems like for other folks some software was the culprit, but it's always been for a piece of software I don't own. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Now excuse me while I reboot... :/
