    Wireless mouse "driver is unavailable" issues

    Hi,

    The error Driver is unavailable means that there is no available driver installed for your mouse that’s why it is not working. We suggest that you check the mouse driver from the device manager. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Device Manager.
    • Look for Mice and other pointing devices and click it to expand.
    • Check if there is a driver for the wireless mouse.

    If there is none, we suggest that you visit the manufacturer’s website of the mouse and download then install the latest mouse driver compatible to Windows 10.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Hi Jerry,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to try running Printer troubleshooter and check if it fixes the issue. To do so kindly follow the below given steps:

    • Select Troubleshooting.

    • Select View all on the top left corner.

    This issue may arise due to printer’s driver incompatibility with Windows 10. I suggest you to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if it helps.
    To do so kindly follow the below given steps:


    • Right click on printer’s driver that you have downloaded from manufacturer website.

    • Click/tap on Properties.

    • Check the Run this program in Compatibility mode for under

      Compatibility mode section.

      Ok.

    Windows 10 Canon MP560 says "Driver Unavailable"

    Dear Sir,

    What should I do if the manufacturer's website says the following:

    The built-in driver is already included with Windows® Operating System or is available through Windows® update. The built-in driver supports the basic functions of your Brother machine. Click
    here to see how to install the built-in drivers.
