Windows 10: Wireless mouse hard to connect, is there any way to resolve this?

Hi. I'm using Windows 11. I've noticed that when my wireless mouse is not working, I have to turn it off, unplug it, plug it back in, and then turn it on. For example, if I turn on the wireless mouse before Windows finishes booting, then my wireless mouse won't work, unless I either do the following: 1. Turn off the mouse 2. Restart Windows 3. Wait until fully booted, then turn the mouse on Alternatively, I have to do these steps: 1. Unplug the mouse and turn it off 2. Plug the mouse in, then turn it on If I miss just one step for example, I did not turn the mouse off when unplugging it

Wireless Mouse connects as a keyboard

Hi there.

I've tried doing all of these steps, and it still doesn't work. I can see the device in 'Connected devices' in 'Settings'. It is listed as 'Microsoft Nano Tranceiver' but has a keyboard icon next to it. the mouse is a Microsoft Mouse 1850. This also occurs
with other wireless mice I have tried, and they connect but all have the keyboard icon next to them.

Thanks,

Jordyn
