Hello everyone,
There is nothing to do with double click/single click. Please follow this
: -
Control Panel > click Classic View > ckick Ease of Access Center > scroll
down, click Make the mouse easier to use > look for the box that says "
Activate a window by hovering over it with a mouse", UN-check that > click
Apply/OK. That's it. The mouse won't do anything unless you actually click
it. Please reply if it's ok now.
