PvZ Garden Warfare 1: Primary Weapon Won't Stop Firing (PC)

Issue was finally solved by opening the device manager and Uninstalling the device.

Do you have any game overlays open? Sometimes overlays can mess with your inputs (like Discord overlay for example). It was giving me aiming and firing issues wayyy back until I disabled it. Try looking for anything like that, and see if that fixes it.

    As far as I'm aware, the only overlays that I usually have on are Steam (because I set up a shortcut for it on there) and EA Desktop (obviously). I usually keep the Discord overlay disabled as I feel it's unnecessary. I haven't really ran into any issues with it until now.

    Additionally, I have tried turning off every possible overlay (that being Discord, Steam, and EA Desktop) to no avail. Is there potentially any other possible solutions by chance?

    adding more to this as I also discovered that tabbing back into the window for some reason shows gamepad controls and my third ability gets immediately activated.
