  1. Mouse/explorer unresponsive


    I was in a discord call with a friend when I noticed my mouse wasn't actually clicking. I opened task manager and reset explorer and it didn't seem to solve the issue. The keyboard works fine. I tried tabbing out and couldn't change tabs, and the mouse seemed like it couldn't interact with anything at all. I restart the PC and the issue persisted. Discord relaunched on startup, and I noticed whilst scrolling with the mouse wheel that it was doing the thing where you click the middle mouse to scroll on every 3rd or so bump in the mouse wheel. When it did this was when it wouldn't work, and other times it did seem to most of the time. Also, on startup, I couldn't hear myself through my mic like I normally can

    Is this a windows issue or a peripheral issue? I have a ducky one 2 mini and a Logitech g pro, and a Razer kraken TE

    Unresponsive Mouse

    The mouse appears to be a Compaq 505131-001 UAE-96 Mouse, it is several years old (2012) released for W7, there does not appear to be any specific drivers available for this mouse, it is also listed as a HP
    505131-001 UAE-96.

    It was standard issue mouse for various HP/Compact PC devices, suggest check HP/Compaq website a see if a recent driver is available.

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and would suggest you to try to boot into Safe Mode with Networking. Here is the steps:


    • Press and hold the shift key
      while clicking on Restart at the login Screen (Bottom right corner) > Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Settings>Restart >>Choose
      Enable Safe mode with networking.

      If the mouse/keyboard works, then update the Mouse and keyboard driver. Here is the steps:

    • Press Windows+X key on your desktop and select
      Device Manager.
    Locate the mouse drivers, expand, right click and click
    on Update.

    If it doesn’t help, then I would suggest you to
    uninstall and re-install the drivers in compatibility mode. Here is the steps:

    1. Go to your
    manufacturer’s website and download the Driver’s setup file
    for your computer.

    2. Press
    Windows Key + R on your desktop screen to go to run box.

    3. Type
    devmgmt.msc and hit Enter.

    4. Under
    Driver, expand, then right click and select Uninstall.

    5. If you are prompted to Confirm then
    Confirm.

    6. Go to the location where you had saved your downloaded setup files of the drivers and
    right click, then select Properties.

    7. Select
    Compatibility Tab.

    8. Place a check mark next to
    Run this program in Compatibility mode and select the operating system accordingly from the drop down list.

    9. Let the driver to install and then check the functionality.

    Keep us informed about the status of the issue and let us know if you need further assistance and we’ll be happy to help you.
