Windows 10: Ps2 mouse is not working

Hello! I am facing a problem with my ps2 mouse.


I generally using my ps2 mouse since 7-8 years.I recently upgraded my windows 7 to windows 10 in 2020.


After upgrading the system , I can able to use my ps2 mouse on that.I am bored with my ps2 mouse and purchased a new usb mouse and just working with it from 2-3 months.


But I wanted to use both usb and ps2 mouse on single pc to do many stuff by using two mouse.After plugging the both mouses on single system,my ps2 mouse not working and even not detected in device manager.But when I purchased usb mouse, both are working.I don't know why after 2-3 months my ps2 mouse is not working.I saw many tutorials on YouTube to solve my problem.Only thing i got there is to change i8042prt.sys start value from 3 to 0 in regedit. I never tried it because, I feared about the BSODblue screen of death issue.I wanted to know that by changing registry value will not arise the BSOD error and tell me that this will harm my system and will it work or not.


I also searched about the i8042prt.sys.I got that when we make a replacement of ps2 mouse with usb it generally forcibly disable the i8042prt driver.I don't know this is true or not but tell me is it true or not.


Please resolve my problem.

PS2 Mouse not working in Windows 10

original title - PS2 Mouse

I see on my PC, the PS2 Mouse isn't working, which I would expect, as I removed this mouse and went to a Microsoft Wireless 5000. Should I remove anything to do with the PS2 Mouse? The PS2 doesn't show up on my list of hardware, but apparently there's
something still floating around to do with the PS2 Mouse. Possibly a Driver still installed, if so, should I delete it and how to delete it? I only ask, as at times, my Mouse Pointer goes a little wonky, especially when I'm Online. It kind of shakes and
doesn't remain still...if that makes for a good description about what's happening?

Thanks for any help in resolving this Mouse issue.

Best regards,

Gordon

 

PS2 mouse stops working after a short while

Thank you Raymond, It isn't a laptop, however it is a i5- 4690, 3.50Ghz processor desktop computer with 8gb of ram and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card.

As you suggest I think I will dispense with the PS2 mouse and only use a usb mouse (even though I much prefer the PS2 mouse) Just one question, if I unplug the PS2 mouse, I assume it won't load the driver for it at start up, so at least the problem with
the keyboard becoming unresponsive shouldn't occur? (at least I'm hoping it doesn't )

Kind Regards

John.
