After the update originally dropped, my mouse and my mousepad has completely stopped working for minecraft. I can see it on my screen, but it physically cannot click or scroll in any way and I am forced to navigate with my keyboard only. My mouse works perfectly fine outside of minecraft, and I have tried every fix in the book so it seems this issue stems from the new update that broke everything and caused lots of outages, especially considering this started exactly when the outages did. Very little people are also having this issue, however I have met a few people with an identical experience.
I also have checked my minecraft settings and my attack and interact keybinds have been completely removed from them. Instead of attack/interact being labeled left click or right click, they're set as a default “button1” and “button2”. I've tried setting my keybinds back to default and nothing changes. I hope to find more people with this problem so it can eventually be fixed, because this is incredibly upsetting.

hi! i did actually fix this! if you open your minecraft you should be getting a really quick error message flash on your screen, i missed it the first like 20 times i opened my game, however it should be telling you to run GameInputRedist.msi which is basically the whole program that connects mouses or controllers to your game.
the way i did this was by opening my task manager and finding GamingServices, right clicking it, and clicking Open file location, after that i found GameInputRedist and clicked it, it prompted me to install so i did. after that, i gave my computer a click restart and it started working again! i hope this helps for you :)
Thankyou so much. So I have found the file in my system, but trying to run it wont work. It just immediately closes and never fixes anything 😕
If you don't have any other suggestions, then thankyou for trying atleast
how long did you wait inbetween installing it and restarting your computer? when i installed mine it would ask to install but i'd never actually see it happen. i'd suggest trying again and then giving it a few minutes, just incase you might not be giving it enough time to install.
unfortunately this is really my only suggestion besides some basic stuff google would tell you, such as updating your mouse drivers etc. i've had this work for multiple other people so maybe try my suggestion before completely ruling it out, unless you have already. i hope you find something that works for you!
A temporary solution i can offer is to revert to version 1.21.114; its not that difficult. You just need an .appx file.
I can’t believe this issue goes back to 2025!! I went so far as to fully uninstall Minecraft, the Minecraft Launcher, Xbox, Xbox Live etc. No change after re-installing. I’ll try some of the methods above and report back. I’m assuming a Windows wipe/reload would resolve it? Has anyone done that?
Tried the suggestions given in this thread, and none of them have worked. Is there anything that can be done to fix this issue through an update?
I have been in contact with support about this since Dec 2025. 2 months ago they said they were going to close my ticket bc they fixed it and that the fix will be in future updates but it’s been 2 months and nothing has changed. They’ve released updates and the fix hasn’t been on any of them. I literally haven’t been able to play since last year as I’m sure many others haven’t been able to as well. More and more posts keep popping up on reddit and on here about it and still no fix
Hey, have you found any way to fix this or are you still waiting? I'm having what looks like the same issue, except I only just encountered it yesterday, when my game suddenly closed while I was playing on my friends realm. It also broke my desktop shortcut and got rid of my classic skins in my dressing room. I made my own report but I didn't realize you made this one, so it got closed and marked as a duplicate.
