Introduction
1. Check your mouse settings: The first thing you should do is check your mouse settings to ensure that everything is set up correctly. To do this, go to the Start menu and type "mouse settings" into the search bar. Click on the "Mouse settings" option that appears, and then make sure that the toggle switch next to "Mouse" is turned on. You can also adjust the speed of your mouse cursor and other settings from this menu.

2. Check your mouse hardware: If your mouse isn't working at all, the problem may be with the hardware. Try plugging your mouse into a different USB port, or try using a different mouse entirely to see if the problem persists. If you're using a wireless mouse, make sure that it's turned on and that the batteries are fully charged.

3. Update your mouse drivers: If your mouse is still not working, it may be because your mouse drivers are outdated. To update your mouse drivers, go to the Device Manager by pressing the Windows key + X and selecting "Device Manager" from the menu that appears. Find your mouse under the "Mice and other pointing devices" section, right-click on it, and select "Update driver." Windows will automatically search for and install any available updates for your mouse drivers.
4. Roll back your mouse drivers: If updating your mouse drivers doesn't work, you can try rolling them back to a previous version. To do this, go back to the Device Manager and find your mouse under the "Mice and other pointing devices" section. Right-click on it and select "Properties," then go to the "Driver" tab and click on "Roll Back Driver." This will restore your mouse drivers to the previous version and may resolve any issues that occurred after updating them.
5. Check for Windows updates: Sometimes, problems with your mouse can be caused by issues with your operating system. To check for updates, go to the Start menu and click on the gear icon to access the Settings menu. From there, click on "Update & Security," and then click on "Check for updates." If there are any updates available, download and install them, and then restart your computer.
6. Run a virus scan: If none of the above solutions work, it's possible that your mouse problems are caused by malware or a virus on your computer. Run a full virus scan using your preferred antivirus software to see if it detects any threats.
In conclusion, there are several things you can do to fix your mouse problems in Windows 10, including checking your mouse settings, updating or rolling back your mouse drivers, checking for Windows updates, and running a virus scan. If none of these solutions work, you may want to consider taking your mouse in for repair, and Geek Studio Store in Chandler (Arizona) USAhttps://store.geekstudio.us/, is an excellent option for mouse repair and other computer-related services.
