    This used to be near the time of day and date at the bottom of the screen in Windows 10.

    Microsoft issued some instructions for "safely removing devices" when this icon disappeared.

    I used the icon to start my scanner but the icon is missing now.

  3. Wireless USB Mouse Not Working

    Hello,

    We appreciate that you have isolated the issue for us. Since it is not happening to other wireless USB mouse connected to the same PC and to a different PC using the same wireless USB mouse, we can verify that there is no issue with the device connection.
    Also, an outdated device has already been eliminated to the possible cause of this issue. As an initial recommendation, we would suggest that you reset the mouse itself. Here's how:

    • Check the bottom of the mouse and look for a small button.
    • Press the button and start moving the mouse until the cursor on the display starts to follow your mouse movements.

    Let us know the results. We'll be glad to further assist you.

    connect through USB, WMDC shows the device as "Not Connected"

    I am running Windows 7 32 bit. I recently bought a HTC HD2 running Windows Mocile 6.5. The first time I connected through USB, everything went like a breeze for synchronisation.
    Ever since, whenever I try to connect through USB, WMDC shows the device as "Not Connected"



    Please suggest
