Didn't knew where to post so posted in the lounge.

So since yesterday, I am having this issue that on my work pc I am unable use my left click on the taskbars (top and bottom) of any program (notepad) (browser) but if I click any icon over desktop it works, it opens but I can't close as the taskbar doesn't work. Same I can't quick launch anything from the bottom nav bar of windows. I have windows 10 and this issue been kicking my head. It went through a update or something IDK and this happens.

Tried rebooting, shut down, turn on after 5-6 hrs, nothing seem to work, removed mouse connected back nothing.

What seem to be the issue, I am very confused, I have not downloaded anything but image files since past 2 months on that PC, so I don't think its any virus that been atatcking.

It happened to me too for some reason my Logitech mouse settings were reset.

 

- Try Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.

- Type main.cpl and hit Enter.

This will open the Mouse Properties window, where you can adjust settings for your mouse.

Also Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc: This will directly open Task Manager.

Go to the Details Tab and check for anything unusual.

CTL+Shift+Esc worked like charm. Thanks!
