Question

One click = infinite clicks?

Aug 27, 2017 10:46AM PDT

Maybe this problem is usual, but I couldn't find a fix for it anywhere.

I'm with my fresh, out-of-the-oven Windows 10 and I've decided to download Steam.

Today I've started my computer normally, but when I chose to download a game, an error (you cannot install this game) appeared. Worse, lots of the same tabs appeared as well.

So I've tried to open "my computer". With one click it started opening "This PC" endlessly. I had to restart (before doing so, it showed 51 windows of "This PC" and the numbers were still growing).

Can anyone help me out with this?

Sounds like a stuck key.

But if it continues after a reboot, it's a warranty issue.

Reboot may have fixed

But I had this issue again while I was choosing the files.

So I've pressed ctrl and clicked at random points and it stopped.

That. Is. Weird.

I'll keep it updated.
