@Riich, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

The issue you're experiencing with the mouse on your HP All-in-One Desktop PC 27-cr1000i might be related to driver problems, connection issues, or power settings. Here are steps to troubleshoot the mouse functionality:

Check Mouse Connections:

  • Ensure the mouse is properly connected to the USB port. If you're using a wireless mouse, check if the USB receiver is securely connected to the port.
  • Try using a different USB port to rule out any port-related issues.

Battery for Wireless Mouse:

  • If your mouse is wireless, check the battery level and replace or recharge the batteries, as low battery can cause connectivity issues.

Update Mouse Drivers:

  • Go to HP Software & Driver Downloads and enter your product details to find and update mouse-related drivers.
  • You can also open Device Manager, find your mouse under Mice and other pointing devices, right-click, and select Update driver.

Check Power Settings:

  • Your system might be set to save power by turning off USB ports when not in use.
  • You can change this by going to Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings, and then ensuring that USB selective suspend setting is disabled.

Run Troubleshooting Tools:

  • Windows has built-in troubleshooting tools that might help identify and solve the issue. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters, and run the troubleshooter for hardware and devices.

Check for Interference:

  • If you are using a wireless mouse, electronic interference can cause connectivity issues. Try moving closer to the receiver or away from other electronics.

Restart the Computer:

  • Since restarting the computer temporarily resolves the issue, this could indicate a software glitch. Regularly restarting can help refresh the system and solve temporary bugs.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
