2024-12-06

The mouse is an essential hardware device when we use computers, playing a crucial role in controlling the computer. However, sometimes we may encounter situations where the computer mouse malfunctions or does not respond. In such cases, how should we solve it? This article will introduce five solutions, hoping to be helpful to you.

1、 Check if the mouse connection is normal

Sometimes, the mouse may not be properly plugged in or loose, causing it to malfunction. We can try unplugging and reinserting the mouse to ensure a secure connection. Additionally, if you are using a wireless mouse, you also need to check if the battery is depleted or re pair the mouse and receiver.

2、 View Device Manager

In some cases, the mouse may not function properly due to driver issues. We can check and update the mouse driver program by following these steps:
1. Press the combination key "Win+X" to open the "Device Manager", find "Mouse and Other Pointer Devices" in the Device Manager, and expand the option.
2. Right click on the mouse device and select "Update Driver Software". The system will automatically search for the latest driver and install it.
3. If you want to quickly detect if there are any abnormalities in the driver, we recommend that you use Driver Life to perform the detection. Go to "Driver Management", click "Scan Now", and if there are any unreleased drivers, click "Upgrade Driver" with just one click.
