Scenario: Every time my computer did a backup to an external hard drive, my wireless mouse would stop working. I could click it and move it but there was no response on the screen. Changing the batteries didn’t help. The [wired] keyboard worked fine. The external hard drive was plugged into a USB port on the front of the computer, as was the dongle for the wireless mouse.
Solution: After Googling for solutions, I decided to try to the simplest first—move the wireless dongle for the mouse from the USB port on the front of the computer to a USB hub some distance from the computer [this hub is plugged into a USB port on the back of the computer]. Once I did that, I reran a backup to test that the mouse would not be affected. It wasn’t, so problem solved! It seems that conflicts between devices—especially those plugged into the front USB ports—are common.
Does your USB mouse stop work? You must be very frustrated. Don’t worry. You’re not alone; Many users are struggling with the mouse not working problem on their laptop. What’s more important is that you can fix it easily.

Cause of USB Mouse Not Working
- Hardware Damage
- Loss of Power Connection
- Outdated Mouse Driver
- Inappropriate surface
Try these fixes
Here’re 4 solutions you can try. You may not have to try them all; just work your way until your mouse works again.
Fix 1: Check for hardware damage
The very first thing is to check if there’s anything cracked or missing. Check the surface of your mouse carefully and also clean it while you’re doing so.
If it suddenly becomes sticky or silent when you click, it may be caused by a failure of the optical sensor, which suggests that the device is damaged.
If you’re sure it’s caused by hardware damage, it’s time for a total replacement, rather than having them repaired, given their relatively low prices.
Fix 2: Replug your USB cable or USB reciever
If you’re using a wired mouse or a wireless USB mouse, when it’s not working, the first thing you can do is to check if your mouse is connected correctly with your laptop. You can try to replug your USB cable or USB receiver into the same USB port or a different one to check if it works.
1] Unplug your USB cable or USB receiver from your laptop.
2] Wait for 1-3 minutes.
3] Plug your USB cable or USB receiver into the USB port correctly.
4] Try to use your mouse to see if works.
Fix 3: Restart your laptop
Sometimes a simple restart can help you fix a lot of computer woes, including your mouse not working issue. So if after you reconnect your mouse to the laptop, it still keeps not working, restart your laptop, please. After getting into Windows, try your mouse to see if it works.
Fix 4: Update your mouse driver
If you’ve tried all of the basic troubleshooting methods but still fail to fix it, don’t be frustrated. Your USB mouse not working issue could be caused by an old, incompatible, or corrupted mouse driver.
A driver is a software that works as a translator for your mouse and your system. Outdated, corrupt, or missing drivers can always cause you lots of nagging issues such as the mouse not working, keyboard not responding, the game not launching, or crashing.
To fix your USB mouse not working issue, you can try updating your mouse drivers.
There’re two ways you can update your mouse driver, manually and automatically.
Option 1: Manual driver update
You can update your mouse driver manually by going to the manufacturer’s website for your mouse, or your laptop manufacturer’s website, and searching for the most recent correct driver. Be sure to choose only drivers that are compatible with your variant of Windows versions. In this way, you will need to check the update for your devices one by one.
Option 2: Automatic driver update
If you’re not comfortable playing with your mouse driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find all the available correct drivers, and it will download and install them correctly:
1] Download and install Driver Easy.
2] Run Driver Easy and click Scan Now. Driver Easy will then scan your laptop and detect any problem drivers. Your mouse driver is no exception.
3] Click the Update button next to your flagged mouse driver to automatically download and install the correct version of it [you can do this with the FREE version].
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system. [This requires the Pro Version which comes with full support and a 30-day money back guarantee. You’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All.]
4] Restart your laptop and try to use your mouse to see if it works.
