Bluetooth mouse (Microsoft Sculpt) just stopped working. Device check shows bluetooth is on and the mouse is paired but the pointer is frozen in the middle of the screen. I tried to remove the device but after a few seconds I got device removal failed and and then returned to show the mouse as paired. I opened Device Manager checked for driver updates - no help. Checking properties on all the items under bluetooth all reported working properly except the adapter, which shows that it cannot start (code 10). I uninstalled all to the drivers and downloaded the latest but the condition remains Also, Windows "troubleshoot" was no help.

You need to go to Microsoft and asking for driver. I did post many times after having many problems with BT mice:
- my Dell mice only work properly with my Dell machines,
- my MS mice only work properly with my Surface machines
...
At the end, I bought Logitech mice and they work with my Dell, HP, and MS Surface machines. Please don't ask me why. That's life.
Regards.
