Windows 10: Cursor click not working sometimes

My pointer click does not work sometimes, the left click on certain things like the close window, minimize, opening programs don't work, but it does work on website texts. My laptop is inspiron 7559. I downloaded a malware unknowingly a year ago, the exe launched automatically on its own, and started to freeze the computer. I have to restart to fix this issue temporarily, but it's hard to tell when it will trigger again. It triggers on its own, sometimes due to copying texts. I exactly cannot pinpoint.

Cursor animations sometimes working.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I see that you are using a Custom mouse cursor. Ideally, the animation of the cursor depends on the action that you are performing using the mouse. You can try removing the cursor, re-add it and check if the animations work fine. Please follow the
steps mentioned below to remove the cursor:

1. Press Windows key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type control and click on
   OK.
   
3. Select Large icons from the drop down for
   view by.
   
4. Click on Mouse, and click on
   Pointers tab.
   
5. Select the cursor from the drop down menu that you have installed and click on
   Delete.
   
6. If you receive any prompt, click on OK.
   
7. Once the cursor is deleted, install it again and check.
   

If the issue persists, I suggest you to get in touch with the cursor developer team to help you further with the issue.
