Mouse won't work in Safe Mode

Thanks for finding the similar issues.

This is odd... I tried a couple of attempts at deleting the mouse from device manager then rebooting, but that didn't fix the lack of Safe Mode mouse.

 

Mouse and keyboard won't work in safe mode

Hi,

Safe mode starts your Windows using minimal set of drivers to help troubleshoot issues on your computer. Rebooting your computer should change it back to normal boot. However, if you entered safe mode through msconfig, then you will need a keyboard to exit
safe mode. If your keyboard is not working, then we suggest using an external keyboard and mouse to enable exiting the safe mode.

Mouse won't work in Safe Mode

Is there any downside to performing a Repair Install?

I've been stumped by an issue: my mouse will not work in Safe Mode. It works in BIOS (a UEFI bios); it works in WinPE rescue media; it works in Macrium Rescue media; it works in Windows 10.

I've tried selecting every USB port, to no avail. (I have a USB keyboard: using its USB port, the mouse still won't work in Safe Mode. The keyboard will work in each USB port.)

The mouse works in Safe Mode in different computer.

I don't know if this is a driver issue or a registry issue. If I perform a Repair Install, would there be a chance of a fix?

Thanks,
Ken
