Step-by-Step Fix

1

Check for Overlays

Close Discord, Steam, or screen recorders that might have an invisible window on top.

2

Alt+Tab Out and In

Refocuses the window so it receives input again.

3

Check Task Manager

If the app is "Not Responding", it won't process clicks.

When to See a Technician

If clicks work in other apps, the issue is likely an "Invisible" popup window in the current app waiting for a response.
