Do you have Logitech Setpoint installed?
Their latest version is over two years old now, and on newer Windows computers (running Windows 10) it causes this issue if you have a shortcut defined that uses CTRL of SHIFT. Setpoint doesn't release the key after it presses it.

so that moving the mouse selects whole blocks of text in an editor or blocks of files in my file manager (that one is caused by my indispensable home-made AHK script that runs a lot of alternative mouse-click shortcuts, like right-click+drag to resize or move windows, etc). I usually end up doing a reboot. I suspect either AHK or the Windows Explorer Indexer (which seems occasionally to bog down everything)

I've replaced setpoint with a completely custom AHK-script. I've actually compiled it to an executable with its own icon.
Irritatingly enough, every mouse (desktop, current laptop, old laptop) requires different codes for the left-right tilt of the wheel. (I use the left titlt to go back/up in the file manager or web browser, and right tilt to close windows). Thus I need three different scripts.
