Windows 10: Can't delete bad mouse driver

I keep deleting the outdated driver, but every time I restart or the PC goes to sleep it gets reinstalled. Apparently, this is an intentional "convenience" that had me redoing the delete in various ways about 30x.


The extra driver makes the PC almost unusable, causing the pointer to drag itself down the screen. I can't control it or click on anything, and nearly had a fit this a.m. trying to get rid of the extra driver.


The internet tells me I have to dig the bad software out deeply from the C: drive to actually get rid of the bad driver. I'm not comfortable doing this as I'm a Mac user.


MS, this is crap and I've wasted many hours trying to fix the problem. Do I have to farm out the fix to a third party company and pay extra to make my PC functional?

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.
