I'm using an HP EliteBook running with Win 10.
Not certain on other specs, since it's an office laptop and not something I purchased myself.
I lock the TouchPad and use an external mouse, one of those cheap ones you get at the store on your way home cause you need one and your expensive mouse broke, sort of mouse.
Earlier today I was irresponsible enough to leave the laptop open and left the house.
When I returned, the laptop had several weird windows open, and I immediately realized the cat was all over it.
Now, everything seems to be fine, the keyboard works perfectly and all the keys seem to function the way they should.
TouchPad is working perfectly fine, and all 4 buttons function properly (upper and lower ones).
The only thing that seems to not work is the external mouse.
When moved, the cursor moves fine, but clicking it makes weird things happen.
Clicking it once (and letting go) sometimes functions like holding the left mouse button down and dragging, but not always.
Sometimes clicking on the left mouse button acts like clicking on the right.
More often than not, nothing happens at all, and whatever weird thing happens when I click on the mouse, it only happens once and then it doesn't happen again.
I tried of course restarting my laptop, using a different port, uninstall device from the device manager and checking for drivers.
I'm fairly certain the mouse itself isn't broken, although I've yet to confirm if it works on another laptop.
It's not overly old, and it's been perfectly fine a few hours ago, and the only thing that changed was the cat that walked on the keyboard.
Mouse wasn't found on the ground, so I'm also confident it didn't fell or got hit somehow.
The mouse has a really cheap 'lighting' effect all over it's surface. It used to be fluid and smooth, changing colors slowly.
Now I noticed that it's mostly off, but when I click it sort of 'flashes' red for a few moments.
I forgot to mention that scrolling does seem to work with the external mouse.
I'd appreciate any help you guys have, and will update if I find more info.
