Mouse Driver is one of the most important drivers that allows your mouse cursor to work smoothly on Windows 10. In this case, your device stops identifying your mouse, and it doesn’t depend on its model or type. It can attack both “Wireless” or “Non-wired” mice.
Sometimes, users found that the display is showing yellow-colored “exclamation symbol” just after the icon of their mouse drivers. It might be the issue of your faulty or corrupted driver that is refusing to respond to your system.
There are various methods to check this issue: checking your connection properly, upgrading and reinstalling your driver.
Follow these instructions to troubleshoot this driver issue:
- Checking “Mouse” Connectivity
For Wired Connections
It is recommended to check your mouse cables and its related connections to fix cord or connection related issues.
If you wish to fix this issue by checking cables and connections, then abide by these instructions:
