Mouse focus

[Guest Michael]

Hello,

 

I am assuming that this is a focus problem, maybe not.

 

The last few days I've noticed that I have to click on buttons several times

with the mouse before there is a response. I click and nothing happens, then

a few more clicks and maybe the program finally responds. This is not related

to an individual window or program, it seems to be Windows-wide. I changed

the "focus" setting in the Tweak UI part of PowerToys; that seems to help for

an hour or a few minutes and then the mouse is back to its sluggish ways.

 

Thanks in advance for any insight into this problem

Hi Michael,

 

I would first swap out the mouse to be sure nothing is wrong with the

current mouse. If the same thing happens with a good replacement, I

would check Task Manager under the Performance tab and see what the CPU

usage is during your mouse clicks to see if something else is possibly

taking all the CPU cycles.

 

Report back,

Type of mouse? Wireless?
