Windows 10: Mouse becomes intermittently unresponsive since last Windows 10 Update

FIX THIS MICROSOFT. This was never a problem until your last update. Today's date is 19/11/2018.


I have noticed that my mouse sometimes almost every minute or two, becomes intermittently unresponsive. It's a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse series keyboard. I use it for my high-end, and up to date, desktop PC, which has a high-end Intel Core i7-6700k processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, EVGA GTX 1070SC, and 1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.


Microsoft updates are annoying. Microsoft SPAMS us with updates, claiming spamming us with updates is a "service" and "normal". They dish us with huge update files every month which may intend to improve and fix bugs, but fact is, they only introduce new problems.


I shouldn't have to go into super advanced settings which only a computer technician will know how to confidently do, just to fix a system update's mess and introduce this problem which never happened before the last Windows 10 Update.


Thank e.

Hi,

One reason why your mouse and keyboard is not working is because of an outdated driver. We suggest that you update the mouse and keyboard driver by following the steps below:

• Pres Windows+X key on your keyboard.
• Select Device Manager.
• Locate the mouse and keyboard drivers, right click, then click on Update.

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out.

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Wireless Desktop intermittently unresponsive

I am on my 3rd Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Wireless Desktop on 2 different computers (ASrock MB custom built).
All three have become intermittently unresponsive as follows:

• Typing along and it skips strokes leaving missing characters.
• Hitting the same key several times in a row with no response for several seconds and then typing the same character repeatedly.
• No response even after several seconds or even a minute. Only fix is to unplug and reinsert the USB receiver. Then it is good to go for a while.

The steps I have taken to resolve are as follows:

• Using Window 10 64 bit with all updates applied.
• Installed the latest version of the keyboard software from the Microsoft site
• Located the receiver less than 24" away from the keyboard using a USB extension cable

I love this keyboard and mouse so this problem is very troubling. Has anyone had this problem and resolved it successfully.
