Slowly, this issue has started to get progressively worse, and yet also evade every solution I've thought of, and I haven't found anyone else with the same problem.
When it first started, my computer would spam CTRL+V repeatedly over and over, needing a restart to fix it. I thought it was a keyboard issue, but when I unplugged my keyboard, the problem persisted. So, I started to think it was a virus or some sort of malware. I scrolled through my software and tried to cull anything I didn't explicitly remember installing, and for a week it seemed to work. This week, though, the problem re-emerged. This time, it pastes my clipboard whenever I click, and it doesn't go away when I restart my computer, so I can't seem to fix it. I booted the computer in safe mode and it still was pasting every time I clicked. I've unplugged my keyboard and it's still an issue. I've run malware scans and they've turned up empty.
At this point I really am clueless and I don't feel like giving my computer to a professional for a few days. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
