Windows 10: Bizarre wireless mouse behaviour

In decades of using a Windows PC this is the weirdest behaviour I can ever recall.

My wireless mouse cursor remains motionless when I use it in its normal position, on the right of my Logitech wireless keyboard. Regardless of surface and with fresh batteries in both the Anker Ergonomic mouse and the wireless KB. And after either a PC restart or power off.

However, I accidentally discovered that if I use it in a wide area on the LEFT of the keyboard the mouse works normally. Moving the little Logitech wireless control unit made no difference. A normal USB mouse works normally. Removing and replacing the USB dongle made no change.

Any suggestions on possible fixes would be appreciated please.

Wireless mouse "driver is unavailable" issues

Hi,

The error Driver is unavailable means that there is no available driver installed for your mouse that’s why it is not working. We suggest that you check the mouse driver from the device manager. Follow the steps below:

• Open Device Manager.
• Look for Mice and other pointing devices and click it to expand.
• Check if there is a driver for the wireless mouse.

If there is none, we suggest that you visit the manufacturer’s website of the mouse and download then install the latest mouse driver compatible to Windows 10.
