I have been experiencing this issue for the past few days now. But pretty much my mouse started to double click very frequently now when i single click.
I am unable to do simple tasks like highlighting text, and moving and dragging windows around now. It will pretty much unclick or double click mid way through with the left button held down.

I've tried the following solutions and it still doesnt work:
Uninstalling mouse devices in device manager
Plugging the mouse into a different USB port
Switching to a different mouse
Scanning computer for viruses and malware
Troubleshooting Hardware and Devices

I have not touched any of the mouse settings. And when I do open up my mouse settings, everything seems to be normal and nothing has been adjusted.

Im guessing this is some sort of bug or software update as it only started happening recently.

I have tried googling this issue but I can't seem to find much helpful answers.

Any idea what I should do? Thanks.

Also my mouse is the Logitech G302. Currently using Windows 10.
 
Solution
This error may occur for the following reasons:

The mouse drivers are corrupted.
The mouse hardware is defective.
You are inadvertently double-clicking instead of single-clicking.

Method 1: Verify your clicking method
Make sure that you are performing a true single physical click. A single-click occurs when you press and release a mouse button one time.
Method 2: Test the mouse in multiple programs
Close all programs and test for the problem on the desktop and in other components of Microsoft Windows, such as Control Panel or Microsoft Windows Explorer.

If the problem only occurs in a particular program, troubleshoot that program.

Solution
I have to agree with daikin990's testing methods.

I also believe that the microswitch beneath the button has worn out, it happens to best of mice (I've had it happen to two) to which solutions are:
-DIY and open the mouse, clean the switch and use some pressurized air to blow possible gunk out of switch, if any exists there. It might or might not help.
-DIY and solder in new microswitch of same kind from some other scrap mouse
-get new mouse

I have so far gone with the "get new mouse" but I have also gone the clean insides route before finding out it was just a temporary stop-gap measure while getting new mouse.
