  1. Computer hacked, tab started opening and it was random clicking


    I'm 95% sure my computer got hacked. When I noyicednit I immediately went to restart and shut down. I was watching a simple YouTube video and it opened another tab paid no mind closed the tab thinking it was my auto clicker or I misclicked. It did it a second time. Alarm bells went off and I immediately turned the computer off. This is the thing it searched up in my search bar.940588bd-09d6-4e3f-ac85-5e9beeЗе6463This happened right after i finally finished that stupid "set up YOUR Microsoft windows" bs.

  2. Random Left Clicks

    Hi,

    Corrupted touchpad driver is one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. We suggest uninstalling the driver to see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Double-click Mice and other pointing devices to expand.
    • Right-click the TouchPad driver, then click Properties.
    • Go to the Driver tab.
    • Click Uninstall.
    • Restart your laptop to automatically reinstall the driver.
    Keep us in the loop with the result.
     
  3. W1zzard Win User
    Command line/tab

    No plans to implement that. Many users (including me) look at tab 1, then click sensors tab 2 quickly and close the app. Expectation is that it will start at tab 1 again.

    Click Twice to open links, hit buttons, close tabs

    Hi Mary,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing with accessing single click option after upgrading to Windows 10. We will help you with this issue.

    • Do let us know if this issue confined only with the accessing website on browsers (Which browser)?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?

    This problem may occur for the following reasons:

    • You are inadvertently double-clicking instead of single-clicking.
    • The mouse settings have been modified, either manually or by another program, to send a multiple-click command when you perform a single physical click.
    • The mouse drivers are corrupted.
    • The mouse hardware is defective.

    Step 1: I suggest you to restore the mouse buttons to default and check if it helps.

    Follow:

    • Click Start, point to Settings, and then click
      Control Panel.
    • Double-click Mouse.
    • On the Buttons tab, click Restore Defaults. If the problem impacts only a specific program, click the
      Settings button, choose that program, and then click Restore Defaults.

      Note: If Restore Defaults is not available, all your button assignments are already set to default mode.
    • Click OK.

    If you are using external mouse, try the below.

    Step 2: Test the mouse on another computer or test a different mouse on the computer To determine whether the mouse or the computer is defective, follow these steps:

    • Test the mouse in question on a system that you know is working. If the problem appears to follow the mouse, you may have to return or replace the mouse.
    • Test a mouse that you know is working on the computer in question. If the problem appears to remain on the computer, then the problem is most likely software-related.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us with the required information for further assistance on this issue. We will be happy to help you.
