Hi there -

I'm not really sure I chose the right topic, but here we go anyways.


I've noticed this past week on both my PC and Surface Pro 7 that when I open apps managed by Microsoft (Microsoft ToDo, Microsoft Settings, Microsoft ScreenClip, Microsoft Calendar) it acts as like the left arrow key is being held down and it makes it nearly impossible to click the correct thing. I don't have this issue when using any Microsoft Office apps or File Explorer though or non-Microsoft apps like Google Chrome.


I've seen other posts from users back in 2018 and 2019 but the threads were locked before an answer was provided. I'm thinking this has to do with the latest windows update since it started happening on both devices around the same time, but I can't go back to the previous version to check because it's past the 10 days (I think this morning was literally day 10 and of course the day I finally got fed up enough to try to check). I don't think it's my keyboard since both my PC and surface are doing it (I have removed my surface keyboard and unplugged the PC keyboard and both seem to still be doing it, at least in Microsoft ToDo when tested). I have to click furiously in order to maybe click what I want to click. But not often.


Anybody have any ideas? Anything is much appreciated!
