However, this is not the only reason your PC is not registering mouse clicks. Here are a few other reasons for your mouse click not registering.
How to Fix Mouse Click Not Registering?
If your PC is not registering mouse clicks due to the computer being slow, a simple restart may fix the issue. In case the restart does not fix the issue, please follow the solutions mentioned below.

Alternately, you may also follow these steps to switch primary buttons.
Adjust Double Click Speed
Your mouse buttons may register when you click once but may not register when you double click. In this case, it can be that the double click speed is set to fast. The computer will not register the second click when double-clicking if the interval between the two clicks is high.
