This issue has plagued my system for about 4 months now and I'm getting sick of it. At seemingly random, the mouse buttons just do not respond; the mouse cursor itself will still move about, but no matter how much I click, I get nothing. This tends to last for about 2 to 5 seconds, by my best reckoning, and is usually prefaced by my having done some form of keyboard input (but not always). Here's what I've figured out so far, per existing posts I could find relating to this issue:
1. It mostly seems to affect video games; the stand-outs I've seen recently are Stardew Valley and Satisfactory.
2. It's not the mouse itself, as I've had the exact same problem with three different devices plugged into the system.
4. It's not the USB port, as I have tried every single USB port on my system and experienced the exact same problem on all of them.
5. It's not the antivirus doing it; the problem persists regardless of whether it's active or not.
6. It's not a virus, or if it is, it's one that's gone undetected by my antivirus for 4 months at minimum now.
7. Task Manager shows that CPU and memory usage are not spiking when it happens.
8. Opening Task Manager alleviates the issue for about 15 minutes, but then it comes right back.
If anyone has any advice for me on this matter, it would be appreciated. Thank you!
