    This is definitely a head scratcher.
    Since the problem exists no matter which mouse you use, and because it happens at random times, I'm thinking that something computer related (either hardware or software) is affecting the mouse button functions. Here are a couple of troubleshooting tutorials that might help. The first (Clean Startup) might indicate if an installed application or service is interfering in some way. The second tutorial is a long list of troubleshooting suggestions. Not every one will apply to you.

    I ran the sfc /scannow numerous times and I am still getting the message saying it did not fix anything. I am still having the problem with the left-click context menu appearing. This is about the fourth mouse that I have bought and they all have the left-click problem.
    It would seem possible that these corrupt files might be causing the mouse problem.

    How old is your hard drive?. It might be getting to the end of it's life.

    Do you run regular back ups, so in the event of a complete system failure you can recover you important data & files.

    I replaced the mouse and now everything works.. so far


    I replaced the Logitech mouse with another mouse and everything has been working so far over the past few weeks. I believe the problem is coming from the USB extentions that I am using and this is what is causing all of the problems. Thank you all for your help!!!

    Another mouse fixed the problem. That is strange.

    Replacing the mouse will usually work for about 2 or 3 months and then the problem will return again.

    I'm having the exact same problem. I even changed my mouse twice, the second new mouse worked for a couple of months and now the misfiring is back. Since it has happened with three mouses, I'm also thinking the USB port is the problem. I tried switching to a new port just today, but it didn't work.

    I had exact same mouse with same problem, I dont think its a software issue as it started all of sudden and looks like its a hardware issue and replaced mouse.
