Double-click sensitivity is an important setting in the Windows operating system that determines how quickly you need to click the mouse button twice to register a double-click. Adjusting this setting can be crucial for users who find it difficult to double-click quickly or for those who accidentally double-click when they intend to single-click. This article will guide you through the steps to adjust double-click sensitivity in Windows, ensuring a more comfortable and efficient user experience.

Examples:

1. Adjusting Double-Click Sensitivity via Control Panel:

   • Open the Control Panel by searching for it in the Start menu.
   • Navigate to "Hardware and Sound" and then click on "Mouse" under the "Devices and Printers" section.
   • In the Mouse Properties window, go to the "Buttons" tab.
   • Under the "Double-click speed" section, you will see a slider. Move the slider to the left to slow down the double-click speed or to the right to speed it up.
   • Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.

2. Adjusting Double-Click Sensitivity via Registry Editor:

   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.
   • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   • Navigate to the following path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
   • Locate the entry named DoubleClickSpeed.
   • Double-click on DoubleClickSpeed and set a new value between 200 (slowest) and 900 (fastest). The default value is 500.
   • Click "OK" and close the Registry Editor.
   • You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

3. Adjusting Double-Click Sensitivity via PowerShell:

   • Open PowerShell with administrative privileges by searching for "PowerShell" in the Start menu, right-clicking on it, and selecting "Run as administrator."

   • Use the following command to set the double-click speed (replace <value> with a number between 200 and 900):

     Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Mouse' -Name 'DoubleClickSpeed' -Value <value>

   • For example, to set the double-click speed to 600, you would use:

     Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Mouse' -Name 'DoubleClickSpeed' -Value 600

   • Close PowerShell and restart your computer if necessary.
