Technical support, please (desktop, mouse, screen, icon)

I think the issue might be double clicking or quadruple clicking? IDK. But I can't copy and paste or even select text to put in bold or quotes or to delete or anything.

Yes, I re-started the pc.

Everything I post posts twice. That is what makes me think clicking once is clicking more than once.

Control Panel/Mouse/Buttons tab

Check the double-clicking speed. You can move the slider to the left and slow it down.

And check this:

If you have the option try a different mouse.

I am hard to help.I have no idea where my control panel is on this newish pc.

[Tek_Freek]

lol. You are not alone.

Windows 10?

Click on the magnifying glass icon next to the windows logo on the task bar. Type in control panel and you should get a link to it. "Control Panel desktop app".

Yes windows 10. task bar? lol. I see no magnifying glass but there is a space to have Cortona assist me. I searched for control panel and then mouse and I think I got it thank you. Now to play with the speed, thank you!

I am not sure that is the only problem. I set it really low and similar problem. Trying to correct above to capitalize Cortona, I had to click several times. It wanted to highlight the whole paragraph, so on, and then finally the least I could get it to select was the whole word to retype.

Try a different mouse. I seem to remember an earlier thread here with similar problems reported. A new mouse fixed it.

I think my mice ran away but I will see if I can hunt one down. Thank you.

Another way:
- click once on the windows icon lower left on your screen.
- click the gear icon
- click the icon labelled "devices"
- click "mouse" in the left hand column
- click "additional mouse options" in the upper right corner.
- under the "buttons" tab is an item labelled "double click speed" This is what you want to work with. It has its own instructions.
