USB mouse works intermittently

My usb mouse only works intermittently (disappears and reappears. When I go to device manager and highlight the mouse, the device manager list of devices goes through a cycle of reappearing and disappearing. How can I get the mouse to work without interruption?
I have tried updating and reinstalling the drives. I have also changed the power saver settings so that the usb ports do not shut off.

USB mouse works intermittently

Dear Andre,

Thank you very much for your response.

I followed your first solution. I went down the list and uninstalled the usb devices one-by-one until the mouse and keyboard stopped working. (This happened after I deleted the third generic USB hub. After restarting, the mouse is operating better. In
the past, it has worked for a while and then becomes intermittent. Currently, it seems to be working, although once in a while there is a very slight delay. This was quite apparent when I looked up something in Quicken 2017. I will continue monitoring the
performance and then uninstall all the USB ports and then work my way down the list you provided.

I am running Windows 10 on a Dell computer with sku Inspiron 660 (system model is Inspiron 660s). I did a clean install following Doug Carmack's instructions on the Micorsoft Community web site earlier this year and installed a solid state drive for the
operating system. As best I can tell, I did not install the Dell utilities or the app data (following Carmack's recommendation). This resulted in a far more successful clean install that previous attempts over the four years. However, the problem with the
mouse appeared at least a year before this clean install.

In addition, in my previous efforts to solve the intermittent mouse problem, a web search recommend turning off Real Tech Audio services. That worked very well about a year ago in solving the problem. Currently I have turned of Real Tech Audio services
and disabled Real Tech on the start menu.

Thanks again.
