Laptop left click stops working

[Jimmy20191]

I boot up my laptop but after a few minutes the left click stops working and I am unable to click. The trackpad still functions and I can move the mouse. I am also able to right click and navigate the OS using the keyboard, but it will not left click whether I tap the trackpad or use the left click physical button.
