VirtualBox 6.04 was update to 6.06 (including installing Extention Pack in Linux (Mint with kernel 4.15)/VBox and guest additons in Windows 10). After this update to 6.06 the mouse was behaving eratic in Windows 10:

  1. When moving the mouse or clicking left the right sub menu opened sometimes at the mouse sometimes in the upper left corner.
  2. Left clicking only accidentally worked (about ones in 5 to 10 times).
  3. Captured mouse or not did both not function and fullscreen or not either.
  4. Sometimes the hostkey message appeared when only trying to click with the mouse in Windows.
  5. Rebooting host/guest did not help.
  6. Problems started allready before extention pack and guest additions where installed.
  7. Nothing else changed except this update to 6.06, with 6.04 all worked fine.

Seems to me that the mouse driver/communication was disturbed.
