Windows 10: mouse and keyboard randomly freezing up for a few seconds

Running Windows 11 and over the last month or so, the mouse and keyboard have started freezing up every 5 mins or so for a few seconds and it seems to be getting more frequent. Even typing this question the keyboard is doing it. I have seen this question asked on the MS forums before - but clearly it hasn't been addressed/fixed by Microsoft.When typing the keyboard input will just stop appearing on the screen, then 3-5 seconds later the input will catch up and display what I have been typing. With the mouse the cursor will just stop then reappear where it would have been had it not frozen up

Mouse randomly freezing for some seconds

Hi Greg.

• The other ports work in the same way but when using the front ports the problem is way more noticeable
  
• I could try a System Restore but I think I have no back-up. The last time the mouse worked correctly was 4 days ago and then it started randomly freezing. Today even the keyboard had the same problem for twice: I pressed a key (R key) and for a bunch of times it gave no response and after some seconds the whole keyboard gave no response for a second.
  
• I tried resetting it, I opened it to clean it and check if the components were intact and everything was fine. It's not wireless and it doesn't have any software.
  
• Tried both using 2 other mice and pluggin the mouse I have always used into another pc. The two mice have the same problem while my mouse, plugged-in in another pc, works perfectly fine.
  
• All possible drivers are updated and were reinstalled yesterday.
  
• All the passages have been re-done by myself but they were already done ny the Windows' assistance as I gave him the permission to enter my pc with the CTLR + Windows + Q command.
  

I don't know what else could couse this problem.
Thank you

Windows 10 Usb mouse and keyboard randomly freezes

This happens to me recently , be it surfing the web , or playing games , my keyboard and mouse would freeze up randomly and switching of usb ports wont work . The only solution is to do a hard reboot . As my keyboard and mouse are cheaper range from
Logitech there are no drivers available . On one day i can do a hard reboot nearly 12 times .
