WTAF is going on with my laptop and mouse!!!!!!!! (Win10)
-
Is anyone else's comp / mouse starting to do weird things on the mouse front? I don't know if it was a recent update that has triggered this, but it is starting to drive me nuts. Windows randomly switches into mouse scroll mode, changes the icon on screen as well, and then when I move my mouse, it scrolls the page up and down. I have no idea what triggers it, and pressing ESC or clicking the screen furiously can stop it. I thought it might be the Lenovo AutoScroll Service, but my understanding that this is for moving partially off screen windows back in view when the mouse reaches screen edge, I have stopped the service to see what happens longer term. [Edit: Still does it with the AutoScroll service disabled, so it is not that!] Any one else seen this (mis)behaviour recently?

Find Me On:Web|Youtube|Facebook|Twitter|LinkedIn Folding Stats: Team CodeProjectWhen anyone at the office complains about this type of symptoms, my first question is, "do you have any paperwork, magazines, or books that are getting onto your keyboard?" My second question is whether the scroll-lock light is on. I will often get an "Oh. That fixed it" comment. If they tell me "no", then I send out a replacement keyboard for them. With only rare exception, that fixes the problem. For those exceptions, I replace the mouse. There are many things that can be adversely affected by "stuck keys" on the keyboard, including mouse functions like scrolling. If you are someone that eats at your desk (I do that too) you could have crumbs, oils, coffee, cola, mold (yes, I have seen that one at someones desk before X| ), or something else that is affecting keys. Those keyboard cleaners that look like you are pressing silly putty onto your keyboard actually to an excellent job. I find they work better than canned air, brushes, or mini vacuums in most cases (although I like the combination of keyboard putty and canned air). Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.
