    Mice and other pointing devices missing


    I had been facing some issues with my registry for a few months, and because of which I was not able to update my windows. Also, yesterday my mouse pointer started freezing randomly and frequently and it won't start unless restarted, sometimes it didn't start after restarting too.


    I did a lot of things to solve this

    • Try updating windows
    • Tried updating device driver showed already on the latest version

    Then I read that I should uninstall mice driver and restart and windows will install it again but it didn't install the driver.

    It was HID Complaint mouseBefore deleting it went under Human Interface devices both hidden showing error code 45.


    The Lenovo site for my laptop doesn't have a touchpad driver it was probably a Microsoft driver - HID Complaint mouse, not sure. I even tried instaling Lenovo drivers but that didn't work either.


    Finally, I made a live USB drive and did a clean install of Windows 10 version 2004, but even after that, the mouse pointer along with the driver is missing.


    Specifications



    • Lenovo Ideapad S340-14API
    • Ryzen 5
    • Radeon Vega graphics
    • 128 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD
    • Windows 10




    How can I get my mouse back?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Also, when I run main.cpl after Win+R, it opens the mouse properties. However, the "Device" tab is missing from it and hence I cannot enable/disable it.
