If you control your computer with the mouse, then it can be annoying if it hangs. But not always a hardware error is behind it. What the error is due to, must be checked step by step and excluded if necessary.

1. To rule out a hardware error, first check whether your computer is too dusty. Vacuum this out if necessary. The mouse should also be cleaned of dirt if possible, otherwise it may happen that the mouse sensor is covered on the lower side.
2. Test another USB port afterwards, as the error may also lie here. If possible, test another USB cable. Use a wireless mouse, check whether the battery or the battery is empty and charge it or replace the battery.
3. Once all hardware problems have been ruled out, check whether the driver for the mouse is up to date or whether the mouse is recognized at all.
4. Also software that can access and activate the mouse may lead to the restrictions in use. Schließen Sie alle Programme und testen Sie Ihren Computer auf Schadsoftware.
