Windows 10: Arc Mouse is paired but not working

Hello,


I use my Arc Mouse on several pc's which I leave on sometimes. When I start up a pc my arc mouse pairs and works fine but when I leave the pc on, use the mouse with another pc and come back and want to use my mouse it pairs but doesn't work. I have to remove the mouse and re-pair it before it works again. Can I do something to make it work immediately?


All my pc's are totally updated 10.0.18363 and this is also the case with the arc mouse.


Kind regards,


Marinus

Arc Touch Mouse | Surface Edition can't Pair

1. Was there any changes made in software or hardware? No changes. As stated it started after I tried to pair it to a new PC/Laptop and the pairing indicator light never comes on the ARC mouse when I hold the pairing button down.
   
2. Are you trying for the first time to connect or was it working before?
   No it's not the first time. Both worked on the previous laptop. They only stopped working after I tried to pair them to a new one.
   

Thanks for the suggestions but those are the normal steps I already took and unfortunately none worked. Because the pair light doesn't come on either I think it's a glitch with the mice memory that happened when pairing to a new device or other bluetooth
devices. The same thing happened for both mice.

Arc Mouse not working after last system update

Hi DanPetcoff.

Thank you for your question.

If Microsoft Arc Mouse isn’t working, stops responding when you’re mousing, doesn’t appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices when you pair it, or if you see an error message during pairing, try these things.

• Remove Microsoft Arc Mouse from your device and pair it again.
  
  To remove Microsoft Arc Mouse:
  
  Step 1: Select the Start button, then go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth.
  
  Step 2: Select Microsoft Arc Mouse
  
  Step 3: Select Remove device.
  
  To Pair Microsoft Arc Mouse, go here for detailed steps.
  

Still doesn’t work? Here’s what to do

• Make sure your PC is compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 (LE). Microsoft Arc Mouse requires a Windows 10 PC or Host with Bluetooth 4.0 or newer. If you are unsure if your Host PC has Bluetooth 4.0 capabilities, you may need to contact your Original
  Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for information.
• Make sure Microsoft Arc Mouse has Power and can Turn On. Replace the batteries in Microsoft Arc Mouse, and attempt to re-pair or turn on the mouse. If Microsoft Arc Mouse can Turn On, and enter Pairing Mode, then we know the mouse has power
  and is broadcasting.
  
  Work with your Original Equipment Manufacturer to troubleshoot your Host PC’s Bluetooth Connection.
• Turn airplane mode on and off. On the taskbar, select action center > Airplane modeand leave it on for 10-15 seconds, then turn it off again and pair Microsoft Arc Mouse. If you don’t see Airplane mode when you open action center,
  select Expand for more options.
• Turn off other Bluetooth devices connected to your PC. Having too many Bluetooth devices connected at one time can interfere with your PC’s connection to the keyboard.
• Restart your PC. This will refresh the drivers.
• See if Microsoft Arc Mouse works with another PC. If it does, then there might be a problem with the PC you were using.
• Check for updates. Go here to learn how.
  
  *NOTE* To make sure your Microsoft keyboards, mice, and other accessories receive updates, select the Start button, then go to Settings > Update and Security > Advanced Options. Then select Give me updates for other Microsoft
  products when I update Windows.

If none of these options work, get in touch with us.

I hope this helps. Let us know, if the issue persists, thank you.

Have a great day.
