After the Windows 10 May Update and the problems that came with it, many users thought that was it. A new update, new problems, a few solutions for those problems, and things would go back to normal.
Well, it seems that Microsoft has more in the bag. More specifically, KB4503864 and KB4501371 came with a new and weird problem.
Users are complaining that the latest updates have a negative impact on their mouse behaviour to the point that the mouse becomes unusable.
Here’s how one Windows 10 user describes the problem:
We’ve already covered some mouse problems in our previous articles, so be sure to check them out as they may hold the answer to your problem:
After installing KB4503864 and KB4501371, my mouse now randomly double clicks, single clicks during dragging/highlighting, and stutters when being held down. This makes it basically unusable. It was working perfectly fine for years before these particular updates, and I can’t find anything about this online. Any idea on what to do?
- Mouse is moving erratically
- Fix mouse jumps on Windows 10
- Mouse clicks twice
Can I do something to fix my mouse?

- In the list that appears, search for KB4503864 and KB4501371, right-click them and select Uninstall.
- Wait for the process to finish and restart your PC.
After the restart, Windows 10 will try to download and install the new updates again. To make sure that doesn’t happen, follow the easy steps in this article to block the updates.
