So Yesterday I was cleaning my PC and then after a while I noticed my mouse was becoming annoying "every click had a working in background hourglass next to it.

 

So was wondering what has happened here and how do I fix it?

 

Tried some basic stuff like resetting the pointer back to default, changing chrome setting's ect.

 

OS: Windows 10 64bit

 

EDIT: Had been deleting files in %appdata%, local, locallow along with CCleaner. (most of the files were game related).

Might add this later...

Might have to let us know a little more than that. 

Mostly OS.

I don't know the issue too well, but here is something that might help. 

 

Sorry I don't know more.

Restart your computer, of course. If that doesn't help, maybe try a virus scan

Sorry, I'm out of ideas. See if anything is hanging in Task Manager, or the resource monitor.
