Hi @good-luck,

Welcome to the HP forums! It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community. I understand that you need assistance with the wireless mouse not working correctly. It’ll be a genuine pleasure to assist you with this.

You’ve done an excellent job on diagnosing the issue from your end. Kudos to you on that score. We greatly value your relationship with HP. You are a valued HP customer and we appreciate you greatly for doing business with HP. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you.

Please perform a hard reset first. Steps:

• If it is a desktop please disconnect all the peripherals attached to the computer including the power cord after turning off the unit.
• Please press and hold the power button of the computer for about 20 seconds to discharge static electrical charges inside the computer with everything disconnected.
• Then reconnect everything and power up the computer.

I would require more information regarding this to assist you better.

• Please provide the complete product# of the mouse.
