Left mouse button not working on some sites
On a site that I frequent, the left mouse button stopped working a couple of weeks ago. No mouse driver problem. Spare mouse has the same problem.
Today, another 2 sites I frequent daily show the same problem. A brand new mouse shows the same problem. Come off the site and try again, the mouse works once out of about 4 reloads.
e.g. https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar

Have you tried a different browser?

Re: Left mouse button not working on some sites
It's the same in Opera and Edge. No zoom settings, so it's normal size in both browsers. I tried on another PC and had no problems, even when using my usual mouse and the new one. It's frustrating to say the least.

Re: Left mouse button not working on some sites
full clean up and scan with your AV and Malwarebytes just in case
Just as an experiment could you create a new user and log into that see if the behaviour is the same?
Are you using rear USB ports or front panel?

Rear USB. I shall try a new local account after lunch.

New local account and swapping left-to-right for the mouse buttons. Still the same effect.
A deep scan by Avira found nothing. Ditto Superantispyware.

Unlikely but You're not (understandably) resisting an MS update by any chance are you? I find that when i put them off the PC can behave in some very strange ways until you do the update and then as if by magic everything works perfectly again.

Re: Left mouse button not working on some sites
Win 10 is fully up-to-date. As are the browsers. It's doing my head in!

Re: Left mouse button not working on some sites
Have you tried booting in "safe mode with networking" to test it?
