hp envy 17-ae051sa mouse keeps freezing

[henit112]

My mouse keeps freezing, I have checked if the drivers are up to date which they are. this has only happened after a couple days of getting my laptop fixed from hp. The only way to get mouse working is to either shut down the laptop or go into the settings menu (Additional Mouse Options Menu) and reset the device (mouse) then it starts to work for a while and stops again. happens quite a lot during the day, need a long term fix if possible?

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps

I reviewed your post and I understand that the mouse keeps freezing.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

Have you checked with an external mouse? Do you face the same issue with an external mouse?

Meanwhile, I recommend you uninstall the touchpad driver from the device manager and then download and install it from the below link.

Here is how it is done.

1. Type "Device Manager" into the search field to open the device manager console.
2. Expand the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall, right-click the device entry, and click Uninstall.
3. On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
4. When the uninstall process is complete, remove the device.

NOTE: On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click the Delete the driver software for this device option to delete the driver package that was used for the device.

If you continue facing the issue, then follow the steps in the below article and perform a test on the touchpad to make sure whether it is a hardware or a software related issue.

Did you test the computer after reinstalling the driver? Is the issue resolved?

If the issue persists, then perform a system restore back to the date when the computer was working fine.

Refer to the below link for detailed steps.
