Why my Bluetooth mouse is not working?

A Bluetooth mouse can cease responding when you use it. This can happen when using the computer typically when it goes to sleep and is woken up by pressing a key or the power button or if more than one Bluetooth mouse is attached to the same computer. The Bluetooth host can occasionally lose contact with the mouse. As a result, the host rejects subsequent attempts to reconnect or changes the adaptive frequency hopping to a new frequency, losing device acknowledgment. While polling other devices, the Bluetooth host stops the flow control. Our fixes will help you regardless of the situation.

How can I fix Bluetooth mouse problems in Windows 10?

1. Update the Bluetooth Driver

Installing the wrong driver versions can cause permanent damage to your system. Thus,  we suggest updating drivers automatically by using a dedicated tool.

2. Change the Power and Sleep settings

3. Check if the Bluetooth service is running

4. Run the system troubleshooter

5. Reconnect the Bluetooth mouse

Note: Ensure the device is turned on and the batteries don’t need to be replaced. Also, make sure your device is discoverable. Check if you installed the device using the correct program; if not, reinstall it and install it correctly.

6. Change your mouse frequency

Wireless mice are prone to frequency disruptions. And that’s exactly what can happen to your mouse, as well. To change your mouse frequency, you’ll need to open your mouse utility software, look for the option for changing mouse frequency, and set the mouse frequency from 500 Hz to 250Hz.

7. Roll back your drivers

8. Change the Power management options

Note: Remember that you need to repeat these steps for all devices connected to the USB Hub. SPONSORED

9. Optimize the Bluetooth signal

Maybe your issue is technical, and nothing’s wrong with your configuration or software. So, ensure nothing is blocking your Bluetooth signal if none of the solutions from the above work. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

First, place your wireless mouse closer to the wireless transceiver. If your keyboard is also wireless, place both the keyboard and mouse at an equal distance from the transceiver. Finally, turn the transceiver on its side or upside down.

10. Check for Windows Updates

Besides regular system updates, Microsoft usually delivers various drivers through Windows Update. So, there’s a chance a new driver for your Bluetooth devices (mouse) is ready. If you can’t install it through the Device Manager, you’ll probably want to try it through Windows Update. Another benefit of installing the latest Windows 10 updates is system stability. If a bug in your system causes your Bluetooth mouse to stop working, there’s a chance Microsoft will release a fix as part of some update.

On Windows 11, the steps to fix this error are very similar.

So we recommend you choose a solution and apply it to any of your Windows 11 devices, and it should be compelling enough.

How do I resync my wireless mouse?

This will vary from manufacturer. But generally, the USB receiver has a Connect button located someplace on it. Once you press it, the receiver’s light should begin to flash. The USB receiver flashing light should stop after pressing the Connect button on the keyboard or mouse. And there you go. This article will come in helpful if your Bluetooth mouse is not working on Logitech, a laptop, a Lenovo or Dell device, or if it is not working but connected.
