ClickLock is a special feature of Windows 10 for your mouse, which allows you to lock the main mouse button (usually the left), after a single click. By enabling this option, you can select text or drag an object without holding down the left mouse button.
How does it work: To start the ClickLock feature in Windows 10, you need to momentarily press the left (main) mouse button on a archive ή άλλο στοιχείο, μέχρι να κλειδωθεί το κουμπί. Μετά από αυτό, μπορείτε να απελευθερώσετε το κουμπί και να αρχίσετε να το σέρνετε για να επιλέξετε κάτι, π.χ. μια παράγραφο κειμένου σε ένα πρόγραμμα processingof text. You don't need to hold down the mouse button. To disable the ClickLock function, press the left (main) mouse button again.
You can also adjust the options for ClickLock and change the length of time you have to hold down the main mouse button before it is "locked". Let's see how it can be done.
Note: In the mouse properties, you can also toggle the mouse buttons so that the right button becomes the main button and the left button is used to open the context menu.

1. Open the Settings application.
2. Navigate to Devices> Mouse.
