MCE remote self "clicking" repeatedly after updated to 8.2.4 on x86 64 bit

Hardware: Atom 330 w/ Ion HTPC; was on 8.0.2 and no problem w/ any previous versions w/ this.

After updated, it's got continuous button clicking itself so bad that the UI is no longer responsive or usable. I barely managed to move it a little bit then it won't do.

I then updated my RPi2 from 8.0.0 to also 8.2.4 and also connected the same USB receiver w/ the MCE remote (both Microsoft original products as a set), no problem at all. So it isn't the remote or the USB receiver.

So I don't know why that is. I rebooted the Atom 330 and it's still the same. In frustration, I wiped the box and put a Peppermint Linux 8 on it, no problem whatsoever. Strange.

Thanks. I wish I posted this before I wiped it. But next time I put LE back on that box, I will remember this suggestion. Thanks as always, chewitt!
