For most people, the default double-click threshold is manageable, but you may have changed it by mistake or set it to a level where Windows won’t recognize your click properly. Change Mouse Double-Click SpeedĬlick speed is another Windows option that you can change to fix the double-click problem.

And with this reversed option, you might think your mouse is physically double-clicking when it’s in a software setting. While this can help you reduce the number of clicks you make in a day, it can be confusing if you get used to the default behavior. The default setting is Double-click to open an item (single-click to select). If there you select Single-click to open an item (point to select). With this setting, you only need to click on the folder once to open it. Just hovering the mouse over another folder or file is enough to select it.
