  1. Win10 not recognizing mouse until I click it


    I recently upgraded to Win10 Home x64. Everything is working great, but when I boot up the desktop my mouse will not load until I click on it. When I click on it I get the "ding" like when you plug in a new thumb drive or other USB device. Why would it not load the mouse? The mouse is a wired/USB Xornet II model made by Cooler Master nothing special. My keyboard which is also USB loads fine. Device manager lists HID Compliant Mouse and says the device is working properly. Just curious if anyone has any ideas? The motherboard is an ASUS ROG Maximus XII Hero WIFI z470/10700K. I thought maybe there might be some setting in bios for legacy USB or something similar, but if that's the case the keyboard should not work, right? It's a Steel Series Merc Stealth. I have loaded software for which might include a special driver, so maybe there's a difference... Anyway, I've never seen anything like this before in many years of computing/gaming, so hopefully you'll have some ideas.

    :)

    Microsoft ARC touch mouse USB dongle is recognized as ARC keyboard on windows 10.

    Hi,

    To further isolate the issue with your touch mouse being recognized as keyboard, we'd like to know more information:

    • Is it one USB dongle for the mouse and keyboard?
    • Have you tried any troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue?
    • Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

    We suggest checking the article below to help you resolve the issue.

    Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly

    Thank you.

    Keyboard and mouse not recognized after boot-up!

    Thanks, but how would I be able to do any of the things that you suggest when Windows is not recognizing either my keyboard or my mouse?

    I'll mention that I do intend to purchase a *wired* USB keyboard and mouse today and try them, but I'm not optimistic that they will be recognized by Windows either.

    Win10 not recognizing mouse until I click it

    Unable to get Win10 to recognize EPSON 4870 Photo Scanner

    I'll walk you though the steps I do to install my Perfection 1200. I have to do this periodically for some reason to reestablish the 'non-standard' Perfection 2400 driver.

    1. Right click on the scanner in Device Manager (as Admin) and select Update Driver. Then select the option to browse my computer for driver software.

    2. Then select Let me pick from a list of device drivers....

    3. Select Imaging Devices from the next list.

    4. Finally, select the correct Epson driver you have installed then click Next. If it isn't listed then something has gone wrong with the driver installation.

    5. Hopefully, the scanner should now work?
