My mouse, for whatever reason keeps left clicking(and holding) on its own. I have confirmed this is not a hardware issue. The problem persists across multiple mice. The click and hold, and some few seconds later clicks and holds again even happens when mice are disconnected. I have tried updating drivers, to no effect. If I switch the functionality of the left button, what happens here depends on how I switch it. If I change it in the mouse settings to be left handed for instance, then it still uses the left click as the secondary, as expected.
If however I use armoury crate to reassign the buttons, I can change the primary mouse click to the middle button and disable the left, and it still primary clicks, as though it has now switched to MMB.
I very highly suspect an auto clicker I installed shortly before all this began, assuming that since it was on the Microsoft store it would be fine. I have since uninstalled, but the problem persists. May have been the cause, or may have been coincidence.
I have ran a scan with Malwarebytes, and while it came up with a bit of adware, it didn't find anything major and didn't fix the issue.
I have disabled the mouse in device manager, and it still occurs. In the device manager, I set up so that with the press of the enter key the mouse will disable, then hovered the mouse over a desktop icon to see if it clicks it and disabled the mouse. After a few seconds, it still clicks.
This is a desktop PC. No track pad, no touch screen. Windows 10.
I have went to system config>services, hid all Microsoft services and disabled everything that didn't hide. After a restart, the problem persists.
