Why is my laptop selecting things on its own?

Asked By TechSquirrel93 On

I'm using a rented Dell laptop with Windows 11, and since yesterday morning, it's been selecting and typing things by itself without me pressing any keys. I tried changing the keyboard drivers and rebooting, but it only worked for about 20 minutes before the problem returned. I'm really concerned that this could be a hardware issue, especially since I left the laptop outside after having an argument with my roommate the previous evening. I want to make sure it's not damaged or has any serious problems.

If your laptop is acting up like that, I’d recommend contacting the rental company ASAP. It could be a sign of spyware or something like that. Also, make sure to unplug any external keyboards, just in case that's causing the issue.

Have you checked if your tab key is stuck? That can sometimes cause weird behavior like this. Just a thought!

Wow, I didn't know you could rent laptops. What do you mean when you say it's selecting things by itself? Is it moving around the screen without you touching it or just selecting things in a specific area? It might be related to the touchscreen or touchpad. Also, do you think someone might have spilled something on it?
