Windows 10 selection bug

Solved

Good evening,

For 2 days now, I have a problem that severely hinders my navigation on Windows:
In all the more recent Windows-related programs (Edge, Settings, sometimes the Start menu, etc.), when I click on a field or a button, the selection moves up-left on its own without me doing anything. So I can hardly type in those fields or select those buttons with the keyboard. This does not occur when I write in fields not associated with the programs themselves (e.g., I can type here without any problem). I should note that unplugging my keyboard does not solve the problem. I have also reset the drive where Windows is installed, without success.
I managed to (with some tryhard) download OBS to record my screen and I was able to make a short video so you can understand the bug:

EDIT: I should also mention that at the same time my mouse no longer appears in full-screen games. So I cannot play since I can't even change the game settings to windowed mode.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me, and I apologize if the problem has already been discussed here,

Configuration: Windows 10 17134 / Intel Core i5-4460 / Nvidia GeForce 750 Ti

Note to interested parties: never leave a box of corn flakes on an Xbox controller connected to a PC, for fear that it will press one of the joysticks and create the pseudo-bug that made me tear out my hair.

Yes, I am a big idiot.

Problem solved, if one can say there was a problem...

I’m dying of laughter, I was searching on the net for an answer, until I found your comment, and it turned out to be the solution (damn controller). Thanks for looking it up for me, by the way.
