Approximately 2-3 weeks ago, my wireless mouse stopped responding. I thought it was a battery issue, so two days ago I replaced the batteries - the mouse still did not function. Today, I bought a new wireless mouse, and it is still not working. For context:This problem originated when I was using Windows 10, I now have Windows 11 I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 3000Both mouses were Logitech - the new mouse is a Logitech M325s.In device manager, the mouse is listed as HID-compliant mouse, and the status is "Device is working properly".In device manager, I have uninstalled the driver for the mouse
