Windows 10: Windows menu and settings not responding to mouse click

Hi,I don't know when this started but I cannot click anything on the windows menu or anything in the settings app. I can however interact with the control panel just fine. There is an update that is critical but I cannot update as I cannot click anything in the settings menu.Other than the windows menu, settings app, snip and sketch I cannot create a rectangle for screenshotting, I can click and open.

usb mouse not responding

Hi Lance,

It can be a faulty driver that is causing your mouse and headphone not to work. However, we need to gather more information for us to provide the best solution to your computer. Kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any changes prior to the issue?
• Is your mouse and headphones working on another computer?

We suggest that you visit the links below for troubleshooting steps for your mouse and headphones.

• Fix sound problems
• Mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows

Looking forward to your reply.

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

 

Mouse pointer hides under Start Menu.

• Does the mouse respond when you click on the Start icon? Yes.
• Does the issue persist when you hover your mouse over Start menu tiles?
  You cannot see the mouse over the Start Menu tiles. It show up behind the tiles like a shadow.
• Do you face similar issue when you hover your mouse on other icons?No.

I will try your suggestions and report back.
