What Causes USB Mouse Not Recognized & Working?

The mouse is one of the computer peripherals commonly used by computer users, so problems are also relatively common. The most common problems encountered in the process of using the mouse are mouse frame loss, mouse button click to double click, mouse right button failure, and so on. In this guide, we explain the causes to USB mouse not recognized and how to fix it.

What Causes USB Mouse Not Recognized & Working?

The USB mouse cannot be recognized, which is a problem that will cause great trouble to the daily use of players. Because the USB mouse cannot be recognized by different players, the reasons for this problem are complex. The common USB mouse cannot be recognized in daily life, mainly in the following cases.

1. The USB mouse cannot be recognized after the system is reinstalled
This problem is mainly caused by the installation of operating systems with incomplete USB drives. This phenomenon is more likely to occur on systems that have been streamlined and optimized by a third party or closed by GHOST. The solution is to try to install the motherboard driver first (you can use the keyboard to operate the computer). If the problem is still unresolved after installing the motherboard driver, or the user cannot install the motherboard driver, it is recommended that you reinstall the system directly to solve it.

2. USB mouse cannot recognize after downloading movie or game
After the user downloads movie games or other software, the computer is unable to recognize the USB mouse and other USB devices. It is likely that the movie or software just downloaded has been infected by a virus. The solution is to immediately kill the virus and repair the system. If the anti-virus repair is still invalid, you can only choose to reinstall the system.

3. The USB mouse cannot be recognized when the computer wakes up again after hibernation
Because Windows itself has the power saving function, when users do not use the computer for a long time, the computer will enter the hibernation state. When the user wakes up the computer again, some computer motherboards may not wake up after hibernation due to design reasons. In this case, the user can restart the computer to solve the problem caused by the USB mouse being unable to recognize. After the restart, disable the USB device hibernation (pause) in the power option of the control panel to avoid this phenomenon. The system hibernation may affect the USB interface of some motherboards, and the wrong connection of the front USB interface may also cause the USB mouse to be unable to recognize.

4. Unable to recognize when the mouse is inserted into the front USB interface
This problem is relatively simple, usually due to poor contact of the front USB interface or the wrong connection between the front USB interface and the motherboard. The solution should first reconnect the front USB interface cable with the computer motherboard in the correct order. If the motherboard cable sequence is correct, it may be caused by the virtual connection between the USB interface rear and the connecting cable. Players can manually disassemble the chassis panel for maintenance.

In general, the service life of the mouse buttons is about 40000 times, and even a mouse with a poor service life is 20000 times. If your mouse is not used for a long time, the failure of the right mouse button should be resolved.

First, we need to see if the mouse is broken. If the mouse is broken, we can only replace it with a new one. If not, we should find out the cause of its failure. The first thing to note is when the right mouse button fails. If the computer is busy, that is, CPU usage is high or disk read-write is high, this may be because the right mouse button response message is not sent in time. You can wait until the computer is idle or you can try to optimize the computer system and then try again to see if it can return to normal.

If the right mouse button failure occurs when browsing a web page, it is likely that the site has blocked the right mouse button. This may also cause the illusion that the right mouse button of others fails. The above two are common cases where the right mouse button fails. Users must be careful not to blindly think that the mouse is broken.
