Do you have Automatic Updates turned off? Because my various Windows 10 machines have all sorts of weirdness when there is a Windows Update pending, especially one that wants to restart the machine, and I ignore them for too long. I've seen the issues you are talking about only once on one machine, but on all of them I will experience keyboard and/or mouse weirdness. I used to get frustrated and curse at my machine(s), but now the first thing I do is check Windows update. Restarting and letting it update immediately cures the wonkiness.

No. Updates are automatic and none pending as far as I am aware.

+1 for the video card. If this has only started happening after replacing a video driver, there's some good odds it's responsible for this. I'd try rolling back to the previous version.

Looks like it is almost certainly due to "Fade out menu items after clicking". Switch that off and the problem disappears, re-enable it and the problem immediately comes back. I guess it must be somehow connected to an update that occurred in the last month or so. Maybe I'll ask Microsoft.

That's great. It's always a fantastic feeling to actually get to the root-cause of these types of issues. Well, at least something you can point at that directly causes the issue.
You may have received a new Video card driver in the update and that may have caused the issue.

Yes, a number of people suggested the video driver as the culprit. So something else to investigate. Thanks again for your suggestion, it helped to narrow it down quite quickly.

I experience this with SSMS and Redgate tools. Their drop downs have a tendency to still stay visible.
I just do as Sander said go to the offending app and minimize it or close it.
I am using latest version of Windows 10.

The problem occurs almost exclusively with Windows tools, and despite repeating the clicks I cannot get rid of the offending item.

It's rare, but I saw that very thing twice last week.

I see it on occasion with W7 too. I think it has a video driver anomaly. Try updating the drivers for the video card. For me it got to the point it was repeatable and a video driver fixed it.

I'd say it's probably the video drivers, too.
One of my laptops would randomly leave inactive images of pop-ups and even windows on the screen. Removing and re-installing the video drivers fixed it.

Do they have Win64 or Linux versions?

I would also say video drivers are most likely the culprit though poorly-written code may be assisting.
Instead of rebooting, try Win+Ctrl+Shift+B to reset the graphics driver. If that resolves it, that's the culprit, IMHO.

Thanks, I will try that next time it happens.

Outlook has been guilty of this for over a decade.

Yes.
Another wierd one is in Windows Explorer in "List" view with several columns and you click on a program file in a column, to the right side of the open window, the columns jump over one column to the left AND does not open. This has been happening in Windows ever since I can remember.
But it does not always happen!!!???

Interesting, but I have never seen that one. Will keep my eyes open for any future occurrences.

Was getting this myself after installing a couple of crappy shell extensions.
