Hi @Dawnyell,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To reconnect your wireless mouse and keyboard to your HP All-in-One desktop after changing the batteries, follow these steps.

 

Check the Power

  • Ensure both the mouse and keyboard are powered on. Look for a power switch, if available, or check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Reconnect the Devices

Using the USB Receiver:

  • If your mouse and keyboard use a USB receiver (dongle), make sure it's plugged into a USB port on your desktop.
  • Press the connect button on the USB receiver, if applicable. This is usually found on the receiver itself.

Pairing the Mouse and Keyboard:

  • For Bluetooth Devices:
    1. On your desktop, go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
    2. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
    3. Click on Add Bluetooth or other device and select Bluetooth.
    4. Follow the prompts to pair your mouse and keyboard.
  • For Wireless Devices:
    1. Locate the connect button on your mouse and keyboard.
    2. Press the connect button on the keyboard, then on the mouse, allowing them to establish a connection with the USB receiver.

Test the Connection

  • Move the mouse and press keys on the keyboard to ensure they are functioning properly.

Troubleshooting (if needed)

  • If the devices still do not connect:
    • Try restarting your computer.
    • Check for any interference from other wireless devices.
    • Ensure that the devices are within range of the USB receiver.

Note:

  • Make sure the drivers for your mouse and keyboard are up to date. You can check for updates in Device Manager.
  • If the devices have specific software (like Logitech Unifying Software), make sure it is installed and configured properly.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
