Sounds like a bad joystick. If unplugging it from the power outlet does not fix it, you will have to check warranty options by clicking the get help now button in the bottom lower right corner of the screen and speak with a Dell agent.
I wonder if it's dust related, and dust getting into the joystick contacts causing them to stay on. Or the switches fail. Does seem to be an issue on some monitors.
It's not typically something you would use a lot, so I am betting on dust.

Try pulling the joystick down. Sometimes they get stuck.

Moved it in each direction but unfortunately it still occurs.

Seems to be turning into a common problem.
If actually another bad "joystick" on an Alienware monitor, this would be thread #3.
