Windows 10: All external mice randomly stop working until I restart Windows 11

I have recently been running into this issue where when I start my laptop from sleep also sometimes when my Bluetooth mouse reconnects from sleep all external mice just don't work. They connect to the laptop but there is no input from them. The trackpad works fine, but I get no input for any external mouse. I have tried reinstalling mouse drivers, using different mice, different USB ports, and even Bluetooth and nothing works. The only possible solution is to reboot, which is really frustrating. My Bluetooth mouse still connects through Bluetooth and I can see its battery, and over USB, Wind

Mouse clicking randomly every few minutes

In Windows 10/11, my mouse randomly clicks on its own.

Very often the mouse left click will not work until I middle click. Then the mouse works as usual.

This happens with multiple games.

The games are on Steam.

This happens outside of games too.

Steps I've tried to resolve the issue:

• I have purchased a new mouse, and it has the same issue. So all mice I buy have the same problem.
  
• I have tried wired and wireless mice.
  
• I've update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. This should mean I have every update.
