    Left Primary Mouse Button unable to click anything on desktop except for active window


    Hello,I have a problem for a couple days now, where my Right Mouse Button is sometimes unable to click anything on my Desktop aside from the currently active window.The only way to fix it is to right click my mouse. And even then it sometimes happens that my right click opens the context menu on my desktop.The only way to reproduce the problem is to unplug the hdmi cable from my 2nd screen and put it back in which gets the mouse button "stuck" I was able to fix this shortly by installing an older driver for my GPU Geforce 3060 but it kept repeating after a restart of my computer.

  3. Mouse primary button setting

    I use a scroll mouse on the desktop with windows 10, and use "Right" as my primary button. I remote login to the same desktop while I am away using a laptop (mac os or windows 10) which has a normal mouse, and every time I login, I have to change the primary
    button setting to "Left".

    Can this setting be saved when logging in using remote desktop, so windows understands to use different primary buttons for mouse?
