Mouse double-clicks when clicked once

• My mouse has been double-clicking from the first day of usage
• My mouse has been working fine until recently and now it's double-clicking

If your mouse double-clicked from the first day of usage, check the Windows setting called Single-click to open an item. This option makes a single mouse click act as a double click. Disable this setting to return the mouse to the standard one click option. 

To disable, first select your operating system:

• Disabling the single-click to open option in Windows 8/Windows 10
• Disabling the Single-Click to open option in Windows 7/Vista
• Disabling the Single-Click to open option in Windows XP
