What can I do if my mouse highlights everything?

1. Preliminary fixes

2. Uninstall and reinstall the touchpad driver

Updating drivers manually put your PC to risk, so we recommend you download and install DriverFix to do it automatically. Thus you will keep your system away from damage by downloading and installing the wrong driver versions. This tool is a professional tool but it’s extremely easy to use. In fact, right after you start it, DriverFix will begin scanning your system for any problems with your drivers. That doesn’t only include the touchpad driver but any problem with malfunctioning or missing drivers on your PC and depending on how old is your system, you will find more issues than you would expect. SPONSORED After scanning you are left with a simple choice of whether you update the drivers one by one by clicking on each one or you update all of them by checking the Select All checkbox on top of the list. The software allows you to schedule regular scans and updates, so you won’t have to worry about manually checking your drivers. DriverFix is a very lightweight tool, so it can work with no issues on most PCs.
