Something's Wrong With My Tablet

Receiving Transmission...
In the past couple of months I've begun to notice some strange behavior from my Wacom Intuos Pro Large drawing tablet. Whenever I'm working on it, stuff like unexpected scrolling, clicking and dragging windows op my CSP program without warning and the tablet's radial menu appearing without prompting. I've tried all manner of possible solutions to try and fix it, like:
- Updating to the latest driver
- Updating to the latest driver that Wacom still has for my tablet
- Switching the nibs op my pen
- Turning Windows Ink on/off
- Switching USB ports
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, including the one that came with the installation CD
- Redefining the drawing area of my tablet
- Fiddling with the touch sensitivity of my pen
And still the issue persists, so I have no idea what to do next. Plus, I'm beginning to worry that my tablet might be on its way out. I got it back in 2015 after my Bamboo got stolen as a replacement from our insurance company, and I've read they have a lifetime of 5 to 10 years.
So my question is: is my tablet dying on me and I need to think about buying a new one? Or is there another solution that I'm not aware of yet? I would really appreciate it if anyone who has knowledge about this could give me advice on what I should do next.

And either way, I'd start to plan on getting a new one. Especially after you said that your current one would only last for five to ten years. And you've had it since 2015. That way, when your tablet does reach its end, you'll be ready for a new one.
