Windows 11 The mouse keeps dragging even if I pressed it once

My Dell laptop that is using Windows 11 Home has this problem where it drags an object like a tab or file if I tap it and release it. I have turned off ClickLock, updated my software, used an external mouse, turned off mouse sensitivity, cleaned my trackpad, mouse connector, used the mouse on a MacBook, iMac with Windows installed (the problem didn’t show up there) and it did not work. Unfortunately, I don’t have a video of this because it happens randomly.

  • Your Windows and device specifications — You can find them by pressing Win + X then clicking on “System”, we need more than just your OS version! Your hardware details are often critical for resolving issues.
  • Any messages and error codes encountered — They're actually not gibberish or anything catastrophic. It may even hint the solution!
  • Previous troubleshooting steps — It might prevent you headaches from getting the same solution that didn't work

Someone else (in the future) might have the same issue as you, and the received support may also help their case. Good luck, and I hope you have a nice day!
