Windows 10: Mouse and keyboard randomly stop working Temporary Solution

Lenovo laptop and microsoft witerless mouse. randomly the keyboard and mouse, touchpad stop working. Mouse pointer can move, but no clicking works. Touchscreen, same scenario, nothing from the keyboard....BUT: .....


Tried everything, but found a temporary solution.. CTL-ALT_Del works. Then can TAB down to task manager, Enter works, and task manager starts. Wait a few seconds, then click on X to close task manager (2 clicks are needed) . When task manager closes, Everything returns to normal.


Problem seems to be randomly initially activated when clicking on an icon to start a task.


How can I pertinently fix the problem?

Mouse and keyboard stop working until shutdown


Hello everyone, this problem had started for me only about 1 or 2 weeks ago, and is rather annoying. What happens is that randomly while using the mouse, it would freeze up and I would hear the "Device Disconnect" sound, and a second later the mouse would work again. This happens absolutely randomly, and after a bunch of times, both the keyboard and the mouse completely stops working. They are both connected to the USB ports on the motherboard at the back of the computer, and unplugging and replugging does not make them work again. The only solution to get the mouse and keyboard working again [temporarily], is to restart the PC using the main power button. When they stop working, the numlock light is still lit on the keyboard, but the keyboard does not respond, and I have a small indicator light on my laser mouse that just starts blinking, when it normally has never done that. Everything else is still working, such as any music playing, and the internet. And that is why I am posting, so that perhaps someone could find a solution.

My keyboard and mouse randomly stops working

Hey

My keyboard and mouse randomly stops working after about 15 minutes or after 2 minutes I open my computer.

Unplugging and plugging again doesn't work.

Both keyboard and mouse are wired.
