Annoying W10 Bug Started the other day. -Not sure the cause, affects various programs.

I've had my current computer for probably a year now, brand new gaming pc at the time of purchase with W10 installed. It's hyperefficient, and haven't had many issues other than Bluetooth croaking early on, which I've been told is a common issue you just can't fix without completely re-installing Windows (as attempting to update / reinstall the drivers just doesn't work,) which sucks considering how long that bug has gone unfixed. Anyway, other than that one thing, I haven't had any other issues with my computer / Windows 10 until the other day, when for some reason I couldn't drag/drop tabs anymore in my browsers. -It's not a Chrome issue, as it persists through multiple browser and program types. For example, the problem also carried over to Blender (3d animation software) which is completely independent. Normally you simply left click to select an object in the scene; nothing crazy. However now I straight up can't select anything with left click in the program. I of course tried many things to fix this, searching for answers online, unplugging/replugging in mouse, updating mouse drivers (were already up to date,) nothing.

Restarting computer, actually worked.. until I shut down the computer again and turned it on the next morning, and it was back to not working. At the moment, if I want to be able to work in Blender, or move my browser tabs around like normal, I literally need to restart my computer when it doesn't work from turning it on normally, which is understandably annoying and not a normal thing to have to do. I originally wondered if it was the fault of another program, but the fact that it extends to multiple programs and is temporarily "fixed" when I restart suggests to be that it's a windows 10 issue. -This bug doesn't persist through all programs seemingly, browsers and Blender are the only ones I'm aware of.

-Also, not sure if this is of note, but starting up the computer also has gotten slower on startup from shut down, which wasn't an issue only like a week or two ago, it tended to boot pretty past. (Also curious why shut down / start up doesn't completely start the system from boot like restarting the system does, like, "shut down" should mean shut down.)
