How to fix the error of the computer not recognizing the mouse

There are many users who reflect the situation that the computer does not recognize the mouse, leading to the inability to use the computer to work. When this is the case, the user should find the cause first to have a procedure to handle it at home.

Missing mouse driver for the computer

When the computer fails to recognize the mouse, it may be because the user has not installed the mouse driver when the operating system is completed, so the mouse device cannot interact with the operating system, leading to the computer being unable to control it. Check by right-clicking on Computer (for windows 7) and This PC with (win 8, win 10) -> Manage -> Device Manager-> See if your computer has the mouse driver installed.

If you do not see it, go to google search for the mouse driver for the computer with keywords: mouse driver + computer name + operating system. Then download it and install it.

In the event that the computer has been installed with the mouse driver but still does not work or is still active every day and now naturally does not see the connection, then start the computer.

Start windows into safe mode

To fix the problem that the computer does not recognize the mouse, the user can boot windows into Safe Mode. When in this mode, all drivers, applications and some other features will be disabled. Here you can check and find the culprit that caused the computer error not to recognize the mouse.

After booting into Safe Mode where the computer recognizes the mouse, the culprit may be the mouse driver. All you need to do is uninstall the driver, restart your computer and go to the manufacturer's homepage to download and install new drivers. And if all of the above solutions have been applied but are not available, now need a new mouse replacement for the computer.

Computer mouse jacks, rusty ports lead to poor contact no reception

It is also possible that there is a bad connection to the computer port, or the mouse plug is badly exposed to poor contact. Clean the computer and clean it or use sandpaper if the pins are rusty. Then you plug it back in to see the results.

Because the mouse is damaged, the mouse is out of battery

The last reason you must check is that your mouse is damaged or the mouse is out of battery so it cannot be controlled. You try to get the mouse to light another computer to see if not, then surely your mouse is damaged or the mouse cord is broken like that. For this reason, you should go to the shop to buy a new mouse to use. :-). If you are a wireless mouse, check the battery to see if it is still powered or is out of power and cannot control it.
