Hi @Raylentless,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
To troubleshoot issues with your wireless mouse on your HP laptop, you can follow these steps.
Check Mouse and USB Receiver:
- Ensure that the mouse and the USB receiver are properly connected.
- Try using the mouse on a different computer to confirm if the issue is with the mouse or the laptop.
Check Batteries:
- Even if you've replaced the batteries, double-check that they are inserted correctly.
- Confirm that the new batteries are functional. Test them in another device if possible.
Reset the Wireless Connection:
- Some wireless mice come with a reset button on the bottom. Press it to reset the connection.
- If there's a Connect button on the USB receiver, press it, and then press the Connect button on the mouse.
Check Device Manager:
- Open Device Manager on your laptop and check for any issues with the mouse or USB receiver. Update the drivers if needed.
- Right-click on the Start button, select "Device Manager," and look for the mouse or USB receiver under the "Mice and other pointing devices" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section.
- If there's an issue, you can right-click and select "Update driver" or "Uninstall device," then reconnect the mouse to let Windows reinstall the drivers.
Check for Driver Updates:
- Visit the official HP support website: HP Customer Support
- Enter your laptop model (17-cn2xxx) and look for driver updates, especially for the mouse or USB receiver.
Windows Update:
- Ensure your operating system is up to date with the latest Windows updates.
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
Bluetooth Settings (if applicable):
- If your mouse uses Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your laptop.
- Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
Try a Different USB Port:
- If the USB receiver is plugged into a USB hub, try plugging it directly into a USB port on the laptop.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
