Windows 8 update mouse problem

This is a tricky problem if your mouse not working in Windows Do you know what you should do to fix the issue? In this MiniTool post, we collect some easy methods. You can try them to help you out. When you using Windows 11, a new version of Windows, you might encounter different kinds of issues.

For example, your mouse is not working in Windows 11 suddenly. Or perhaps, your mouse lagging in Windows This issue can also happen in Windows To help you solve the issue, we collect some useful methods and show them in this post.

When using a computer, some temporary files are generated by visiting a webpage, uninstalling programs, or doing something else. However, it is easy to remove these temporary files: you just need to restart your computer.

After that, you can go to check if you can use the mouse as usual. I got onto chat with HP support and they were no help, basically saying wait for a few weeks and hopefully a patch or new driver would be available to fix the problem.

In the meantime the support person suggested just getting a wired mouse. So I went out and bought a wired mouse and it turns out that does not work either! The behavior of the wired mouse is that if the cursor is visible on the screen, as soon as I move the mouse, the pointer simply disappears.

So there is something happening when I move the mouse to indicate a connection to the computer, but it is totally non-functional.

I have seen some similar posts regarding Bluetooth devices not working but this mouse issue seems to be more than just a Bluetooth issue since the wired mouse fails as well. No solution here, just a word of warning: it may be USB port driver. On my system I lost all USB ports after update. I have to reinstall Windows now. I strongly suggest- while your computer is up, back up everything, and may be even consider reverse to Win.

I attempted "Restore from last known well configuration"- it failed. I can not reverse my. I need to install driver for USB which is easy- uninstall in device manager and let Windows to install new one, but I would not mass with anything.

Just saying- it may get worse. My computer worked fine for 24 hours and after I restarted- lost USB- all of them. Make sure you know your computer's name, username and password.

I would also disable password log in. You may have to log in remotely IF your driver fails. It appears unstable. Here is my thread on Tom's about all the struggle- I will be updating it.

I stupidly updated to Win 8. Now my MS Bluetooth mouse won't work. Using an HP Envy Laptop, fortunately it has a touch screen. Gee - my Bluetooth mouse was just working hunky-dory until the Microsoft 8. Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention: Windoze 8. Day before yesterday, windows updated itself to 8. The mouse flashed red and green when I try to reset the Bluetooth connectivity suggesting that its trying to find the receiver in my PC but no connectivity.

I have turned the mouse and PC on and off restarted, changed batteries. No dice. Any suggestions on how fix this Bluetooth problem would be welcome. Occasionally, you might see a notification that a driver is unsigned, has been changed since it was signed, or can't be installed by Windows.

We recommend that you don't install unsigned or changed drivers. A digitally signed driver includes a digital signature, which is an electronic security mark that indicates the publisher of software and whether someone has tampered with it since it was signed.

If a driver has been signed by a publisher that has verified its identity with a certification authority, you can be confident that the driver comes from that publisher and hasn't been changed. If you see any of the following notifications when you're installing a driver, you should stop the installation and go to your device manufacturer's website to get a digitally signed driver for your device.

The driver doesn't have a digital signature or has been signed with a digital signature that wasn't verified by a certification authority. You should only install this driver if you got it from the manufacturer's disc or from your system administrator.

The driver hasn't been digitally signed by a verified publisher. The driver might have been changed to include malware that could harm your PC or steal info. In rare cases, legitimate publishers do change drivers after they've been digitally signed, but you should only install an unsigned driver if you got it from a device manufacturer's disc.

Unfortunately, there's no trustworthy source of info that indicates who has published an unsigned driver. Anyone can change the contents of an unsigned driver, and there's no way to know why it was changed. Most manufacturers now digitally sign the drivers they create before releasing them to the public. A driver that lacks a valid digital signature, or has a signature that was changed after it was signed, can't be installed on bit versions of Windows. You'll only see this notification if you have a bit version of Windows and try to install such a driver on it.
