Left click Highlighting of any text does not work correctly

Sometimes double clicks on single click


The issue happens on multiple systems –


I have 5 computer systems (1 desktop 4 Laptop various makes/models)

  • Custom Desktop
  • Lenovo Legion Y520
  • Lenovo Yoga 710
  • HP Specter X360
  • Dell Inspiron 3153 11


All Windows 10
All mouse / trackball / touch pad

  • Trackball/Thumb ball Logitech M570
  • Insignia NS-PNM3BBBK
  • Generic Gaming Mouse
  • Built in touch pad


When I attempt to highlight text and hold down the mouse button at where I want it to start, the following happens

  • It does not highlight at all
  • It may start to highlight 3 or 4 words in or several lines later then on releasing the mouse button
  • The highlight might remain on or turn off
  • It starts to highlight correctly then turns it off on releasing the button
  • It starts to highlight correctly but turns off without releasing the button
  • It does it correctly
  • It will sometimes skip and move the middle of a word or sentence to another area
  • Starting at the end of the text it does it correctly more often though still get the same problems as listed above.


It does this if I use either the wireless mouse or the touch pad on the machine


It happens while using Browsers (Chrome or Firefox), Word, Excel, etc.


I have already checked the following:

(Happens on multiple systems) – (may work for a few minutes, then back)

  1. Additional mouse options
  2. Reboot Windows File Explorer
  3. Create a new local user account
  4. Clean boot and installing the latest Windows Update
  5. Uninstall and Reinstall the device
  6. Enable Single-Click to Open Items
  7. Hardware troubleshooter
  8. Restarted Router
  9. Changed USB port on the PC.
  10. File Explorer, View tab, Options, General, Single-click to open
  11. Entered sfc /scannow
  12. Boot in safe mode – Advanced startup
  13. Updated drivers
  14. Changed Anti-virus/system security software
  15. Ease of Access center
  16. Sticky Keys Disable
  17. Blink rate value of the cursor
  18. Changes mice


I think that just about covers everything - The only constant is Windows 10 - I also noticed that this issue goes back to at least 2006


Any and all suggestions (beyond what I have already tried) would be a great help


Thank you
