Windows – Mouse(s) double clicks instead of single click (its not the mouse)

64-bitmousewindows 7

I am aware of this very similar question:

But I have tried with 3 different mouses and everyone of them exibit the same behavior. Simple enough, 1 out of 3 times I get a double click when single clicking).

I searched the net a lot about this problem and have yet to find a solution.

I have tried:

  1. switch to another mouse

  2. uninstall the mouse drivers + reboot

  3. I do not have any special mouse drivers/software like intellisense and logitecs to uninstall.

  4. verified that I was not in fact on some setting that says open files with single click.

  5. everything is up to date including a antivirus

  6. Installed fresh drivers from dell's website

It is a dell vostro 260 computer running windows 7 pro 64.
edit: added a 6th thing I tried.
edit2: tried reinstalling every windows update I could find nothing
Boss just said he'd buy me a logitech mouse hoping the drivers will fix my problems. Hopefuly!

Best Answer

Answering myself since this is what fixed it in the end. So in the end buying a new logitech mouse and installing its drivers seems to have fixed the issue. At least for now. Thanks for everyone who tried to help.
