Windows 10 right click even without mouse?

My girlfriend's mouse seems to right click at random intervals. 

There are plenty of versions of this issue I've read through and nothing works/fits. I figured I'd ask here before a motherboard is replaced. 

I'm almost absolutely sure it's rigjt-click since the issue carries over to the game Dark Souls 3, where right click is the shield button, and her shield randomly raises as well.

We've replaced and updated drivers, plugged into different inputs and foind even when not plugged in the input happens. We've been sure to get any dust out of USB sockets.

We have even done a full factory reset.

Still issues.

Thanks in advance, any ideas on the matter are appreciated!

    It doesn't sound like a motherboard issue. A motherboard without any input devices connected isn't going to emulate a mouse. There's nothing there for the operating system to interpret as a mouse.

    Do a clean install, NOT a factory reset. The factory image on the hard drive can be infected with malware just as easily as the main Windows install. Besides, an easy way to rule out a motherboard problem is if it doesn't happen when running the Windows installer or another operating system like Linux.
