The left click of my laptop stopped working while the right click and the cursor does't have any problem. Also the left click starts working when I restart but stops after sometime. I have tried updating my driver as well as uninstalling and reinstalling. The warranty period of the laptop has not ended. What should I do?

@Rose_S_Jose Attempt using an alternate/external mouse.
(If that works when the touchpad is disabled on device manager, it would mean that it's a touchpad failure,
However, if the external mouse doesn't work either, it could be a software/driver issue).
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your mouse:
Go to the Device Manager and select your mouse. Uninstall it and then restart your computer. During restart, your mouse driver will automatically be reinstalled.
- 1. Click on Start and type ‘Device Manager’.
- 2. Click Device Manager.
- 3. Click + sign next to Mouse.
- 4. Right-click on mouse entry and choose "uninstall".
- 5. Restart your computer.
