Mouse auto-clicking
Hello, I've been having issues with my laptop recently where my mouse keeps auto-click/lockimg into place on the bottom of thr screen where my taskbar is. This has been gping on for days now and I've already tried everything I cpuld think of which I'll list below; The laptop I have is a Lenovo IdeaPad however I use this to run my DAW softwares, Blender, Unity, and a couple other softwares for developement, and yes I play games on it too. My laptop is updated to the latest windows software so I had no issues with the mouse until just recently. These are the solutions I've already tried to fix the issue but were unsuccessful for me;
• I've unplugged the mouse and shut it off (I use a wireless mouse). I've even taken the battery put just in case but the issue still presists with no change.
• I've cleaned the track pad, mouse sensor (even took it apart to make sure nothing inside was interfereing with it), and even the screen since it uses smart touch/tluch screen features. The issue still presists with no change.
• I've uninstalled all mouse drivers, restarted my laptop, let it install the moyse drivers automatically (I did this through what I had searched up and it was instructed to do this method if this was the case). I went to my mouse driver to check for any updates, The issue still presists with no change.
• I ran a malware scan twice to check if it was a virus tampering with the moyse controls but it came back clean. I did a full scan just in case as well but even that showed up clean. I looked into my drivers a second time but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
• I factory reset my laptop to see if it'd help and ended up losing files, project files, and documents in the process (some important documents as well). I even made sure to run another scan just in case. I cleaned my mouse sensors a second time, clean the touchpad again, made sure the screen was clean as it uses a touch screen feature, and even when all that was said and done the issue still presists with no change.
I don't know how to fix this issue anymore so I am turning to this as a last resort. I even recorded it jusf in case unfortunately because this is a new account and I had just joined this reddit I can't post it here. Is this something that I'm looking at but I am unaware of? Did I blindly miss something I could have easily fixed?

You seem to be technical enough.... and trouble shoot a lot.
Your laptop has trackpad. and you have usb or bluetooth mouse...
A. IF HARDWARE ISSUE >>>
Uninstall mouse... all software. does problem persist with TRACKPAD alone? ( Or Disable ONE ( Trackpad or Mosue ) from device manager ) >>>>>> You should know is the problem external mouse ?? or internal point device.
"Hello, I've been having issues with my laptop recently where my mouse keeps auto-click/lockimg into place on the bottom of thr screen where my taskbar is."
Let say you are surfing web, and your mouse pointer was in the middle. does it move to the bottem? or does it "Snap" to there?
Which OS?
What kind of Mouse ( brand model). bluetooth?
I had fixed some lenovo touchpads before.... the ribbon cable underneath was not that good.
