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.

Install Labtec wireless mouse

Hi fa11d0wn,

Please provide more information about the issue so I can further assist you:

• Have you tried connecting the mouse to a different PC to check if it's working?
  
• If you have successfully connected the mouse before, can you recall any recent changes made on the PC that might have triggered the occurrence of the issue?
  
• Are you getting any error messages when trying to connect the wireless mouse?

One of the common causes of wireless mouse issues is incompatibility. So, the first thing that you need to do is to ensure your mouse is compatible with Windows 10. Most new models should be. However, if the mouse is more than five years old, chances are
that it isn’t compatible with Windows 10. In such case, a complete replacement is the only solution.

If the mouse is of a recent make and is still not responding, the other option for you will be to ensure the wireless receiver is attached to a port that is working or has adequate power. Try changing you ports and see if it makes any difference. Ensure
that you attach the receiver to your PC's native port instead of an external port.

Often times, reconnecting the wireless connector can also help. With the PC running, detach the receiver, wait for about 10 seconds and reattach it. Also, check if the battery within the mouse has enough juice in it before you move on to advanced troubleshooting
steps.

If the steps mentioned above did not help, go to the official website of the mouse manufacturer and download the latest driver manually. After downloading the latest driver, follow these steps:

1. Launch Device Manager (press Windows key +
   X on the keyboard).
2. Locate and expand Mice and other pointing device.
3. Right-click on your wireless mouse and click on the Update driver option.
4. In the window that appears next, select Browse my computer for driver software.
   
5. Provide the path where the software is located for Windows to install it.
6. Restart when prompted.

Let me know how it goes.
