Windows 10 mouse clicks are unresponsive.

While running the virtual machine environment, excessive memory usage was suspected due to having too many windows open. After dragging a specific window caused the software to close unexpectedly, the mouse became unresponsive to clicks. Although the mouse could be moved and hovering triggered visual feedback (e.g., buttons changing color), both left and right mouse buttons were completely unresponsive. The system was not completely frozen (keyboard operations and Task Manager remained functional, with memory usage at approximately 60%). Seeking a method to restore mouse click functionality without restarting the virtual machine.
