Hi Bill,
You can try the below methods to resolve your issue. Method 1 – Remove previous updatesSometimes Windows update can make more harm than good, and in thepast it has known that optional updates such as KB2913431 can cause some issues. To remove an update that is causing you trouble do the following:
If the problem started recently it’s probably the latest installed update that is causing the issue, so you need to click Uninstall to remove it. Also, be ready to enter your administrator password if you’re asked to. Method 2 – Disable USB 3.0 support from BIOS While booting press Del or F8, the key might vary depending on the motherboard manufacturer, to enter BIOS. While in BIOS, you need to navigate to Advanced settings, locate USB configuration and disable USB 3 support. Depending on your manufacturer, you might have to take different route to disable USB 3 support. Save and exit. Your computer will now restart and if keyboard and mouse aren’t working try plugging them in into different USB ports. If your mouse starts working, go to Settings -> Device Manager. Find USB controllers with exclamation mark , disable and enable them. ![]() Method 3: Updating Driver Check if a driver has been installed for the mouse. You can check in the Device Manager for this. While Windows may have a standard or default driver for the mouse, installing a driver for your specific mouse may fix the issue. If a driver is installed for the mouse, it is recommended that you check if there is an updated driver for the mouse. Updating the driver may fix issues with a non-functioning mouse. I hope this helps. Regards, Lokesh |

Hi Bill,

Here's some information about how to check your device, make sure cables are connected properly, make sure the hardware has power, and check the settings.Make sure cables are connected properlyCheck that all cables are plugged in to the correct locations. This can include mouse and keyboard, PS2 and USB cables, and, in some cases, external USB touchpad cables.
Check for and replace worn batteriesMake sure old or worn batteries in your devices are replaced and functioning properly. Disconnect and then reconnect wireless or Bluetooth receiversIf you’re using a wireless or Bluetooth device, you might need to disconnect the device from your PC and then reconnect it. Look on the bottom of the wireless device for a Reset button. Resetting the device will disconnect and then reconnect the wireless connection. There might also be a Reset button on the USB receiver for your device.
Test the device on another PCIf the device doesn't appear to work at all (for example, no lights appear on the device when it’s plugged in, or the cursor doesn't move or doesn't appear on the screen), connect the device to another PC and make sure the device works on that PC.
