Windows 10: USB-mice not working

So I've had this problem earlier already but restarting the device used to help. Now it doesn't. Any mouse that I plug in gets recognized, the bottom right corner message, which says something like "USB-Mouse is being set up", then, a couple of seconds later, it tells me that it finished but I can't move the mouse. I've tried wireless mice too, nothing new. My mouse gets powered and is on the device list of "Bluetooth and other devices". Something that might be related: in Device Manager under "Mice and other pointing devices" I have 11 "HID-compliant mouse". I have a graphics tablet and using it to move the cursor works but is not optimal.

Attempted solutions:
Rebooting worked before, now it doesn't
Plugging in other mice mice don't work, keyboards and graphics tablets do
Deleting all drivers from device manager when I scanned for hardware changes all the 11 drivers came back

Also plugging it out added one HID-compliant mouse and plugging it back in gave me another one.

Solutions would be appreciated.

No USB mice or keyboards working

I have an issue with USB mice and keyboards connecting to my new Lenovo P51, running Windows 10

The issue started when my USB keyboard (Microsoft Sculpt) started perpetually pressing a 'p' key. This has happened before, but usually stops quickly. To identify the fault, I unplugged the USB receiver from docking station base USB port where it was connected.

Following this, NO USB mice or keyboards will work!

1. All devices show up as 'Other devices' in Device Management. And when you try and update the driver, I get told that Windows could not find the driver for the device.

2. If you attempt to select the driver from the list, no 2.4Ghz drivers are shown as available.

3. I've used a commercial driver utility to do an automatic update (Driver Easy)

4. I've uninstalled USB controllers, rebooted, and let Windows install them

5. I've done numerous hard reboots, including complete power down with battery out

6. I've manually replaced several usb-related INF files in the c:\windowss\inf folder as well (including usb.inf)

However...still no go. All keyboards or mice just end up in 'other devices' and won't work. I've run out of ideas short of a Windows reinstall. Or am I missing something? One other thing I considered was a USB power issue...but my portable usb hdd still
works (with lights on).

comments appreciated.
