Mouse double clicking randomly

Hi,

both of my mice double-click randomly instead of single clicking.

I have tried:

- switch to another mouse
- uninstall the mouse drivers + reboot
- verified that I was not in fact on some setting that says open files with single click.
- everything is up to date including a antivirus
- updating my drivers
- Rebooting in safe mode (where the problem doesn't seem to happen)
- both of the mice work fine on another computer

I'm on Windows 7.
Most of the topic on the forum seems to be about hardware issue, and this is not my case.
The problem appeared 3 weeks ago, and seems to come and go every other day for like 5 hours. (5 hours of INSANITY)

I really wonder what could be the issue. It is getting really annoying...

Thank you
 


Swap in another mouse.
If it continues, it is possibly a software issue.
If it stops, it is the mouse. Probably a failing left button microswitch.
 


Like I said, the issue happens on two different mice. :/
