My mouse is stuck on Windows 10. Solved/Closed

Question

Hello
I'm coming back here because the issue is still not resolved.
After starting my PC (after a few minutes), the pointer of my mouse freezes and the computer crashes: total paralysis. Can't do anything...
Any ideas, advice, suggestions?

I'm considering reinstalling Windows completely unless I find "the" miracle solution through you.
Thanks to all.
Best regards.

Hello,
with a work colleague, his computer was freezing after a few minutes of running.
Upon disassembling the processor, we noticed that there was no thermal paste left between the processor and its heatsink
hence the thermal shutdown of the PC for safety reasons.
After reapplying thermal paste, the PC returned to normal operation.
Best regards

Hello,

My boyfriend is also having a problem with the cursor freezing and not responding at all to mouse movements or clicks.

He has already unplugged and replugged the mouse, tried another mouse, turned off the computer, but nothing changes; it’s still stuck.

This happened all of a sudden after he had been working normally on the PC, but since then, it hasn't been working. He is running Windows 2000.

I must say I’m not an expert in computers (especially when it comes to problems), and he is even less so!

Can you help him?

I’ve seen in previous discussions that this could be related to a thermal issue. Could it therefore be due to the fact that the PC is near the heater? But in that case, why did it happen all at once when the heating has been working for about two weeks now?

Hello,
If the problem doesn't come from the mouse, it's certainly a heat issue but not with your radiator! ;)
It may also get stuck when the processor is working hard.
If your PC is no longer under warranty, then open it up and take off the fan grille, the radiator, and clean everything you can. Thoroughly clean it out, don't hesitate to bring out the vacuum cleaner; it's what I had to do.

Happy cleaning!!

Hi

little intrusion^^ julien (l8^^) thanks for explaining because a lot of people don't take the time to properly clean the fan even though it gets dusty quickly!! For the vacuum, yeah I've seen a lot of people do that but oops my vacuum broke down .......grrr........ it's certainly quicker and more effective with tissues, and I even found myself using cotton swabs for the fan

++++1 for you and I'm sure this will help others ^^

Hello everyone,

I bought a Trust (optical) mouse about 5 years ago, and for the past few months, it hasn't worked without the power cable (not bothersome enough to buy a new one), but two days ago, my mouse stopped responding completely. Unlike you, the PC doesn't crash; it's just the mouse. I've tried several ways to solve the problem (changing batteries, cleaning, changing mousepad, etc.) with no results.

Before I buy a new mouse, I wanted to know your opinion and, if possible, a solution for my problem.

Best regards

Hello,  The dry air blower isn’t bad either for cleaning the inside of the computer.  Handle with care!

vivi · Answer

Me too, the mouse was freezing. It's resolved with extra RAM. I added a hard drive and the mouse stopped responding due to lack of memory...
When I was scanning with Avast antivirus, it was also freezing because of this lack of memory.

Get to work and good luck!

Hello to you
You need to try this
If you have an SD card reader connected via USB, turn off the PC and disconnect this reader because the problem may come from there
If you reinstall Windows, disconnect this reader, do a new installation of Windows, complete the updates, and finally get the PC back to operating condition
Once the PC is up and running, turn it off, power down, and reconnect the reader to the motherboard
These crashes often come from SD card readers that are connected via USB to the motherboard
If the problem persists, turn off and unplug the tower and try without the card reader to see if it works
It doesn't cost much to try !!!!!

after a complete lack of movement of the cursor, use the mouse to select the channel by pressing the reset button on the receiver.
when the red indicator on the receiver blinks rapidly, press the button located under the mouse.

it worked well for me

I've been struggling for a month with a mouse that freezes all the time and I've called for help in vain. Disk cleanup and all that jazz, then: I unplugged my webcam and my USB mouse (because I also changed the wired one with no results) and suddenly the reinstallation of my webcam started automatically. I had to reconfigure it and since then my mouse has been working great.
I'm sharing this with you, modestly yours.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with the mouse pointer freezing.
So I have to reboot every time. It can happen 4 or 5 times in a row, it works again and then it goes wrong for no reason.
I suppose it's the same for you; it starts with the pointer disappearing, then it returns to the opposite side of the screen or doesn't respond, before completely freezing.
Changing the mouse doesn't solve anything because I connected it to another PC and it works normally.
Don't look into that anymore.
I saw on a forum that it might be a recurring problem with NVidia graphics cards. Indeed, mine is one, and unfortunately, there's nothing to do other than change it.
Sometimes the pointer comes back after disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse, but it never lasts long. The issue runs deeper.
Another trick temporarily unfreezes it: by clicking simultaneously on the following two keys: Alt, Tab (the key with the two inverted arrows), otherwise, you have to go through the "reset" option. This happens to me often 8 to 10 times in less than an hour; it's really a hassle.
There's always the option of a complete clean-up with a vacuum cleaner set to the lowest power level.
Personally, I made an attachment where I taped a straw, which allows me to get into all the corners without the risk of sucking up a small part, and I also use a small soft-bristle brush for the fan blades.
A good clean-up can only do wonders for your machine. Once every 6/8 months.
Like most of you, I can't solve this problem; only changing the graphics card will probably fix it.
Good luck to you...

Hello everyone;
You who have this problem of a PC that freezes at startup or shortly after opening it (mouse freezing)
I am taking the liberty of writing this text because it happened to me.
Every PC has a graphics card that allows for an image to be displayed.
This graphics card is made up of small capacitors that can deform over time or due to the heat of the PC.
Let me explain:
If you disassemble your card, you will be able to observe the capacitors. On these small capacitors, there may be slight bulges, which is abnormal. They should be completely flat.
They contain liquid inside, and when they are defective, they burst and leak this liquid.
This is just a simple deformation, and they can cause your PC to go haywire.
Whether you believe me or not, it's up to you.
I changed my graphics card, and my PC is running flawlessly.
Each PC has its own problem.

Hello

I had the same issue with a frozen mouse, beeping, and Windows 7
I noticed there were two entries in the device manager for the same mouse
by deleting one of them, I completely lost the mouse.

I resolved the issue by changing the mouse, then deleting the entries for the old mouse

and there, miracle, it works....

hoping this helps someone

good luck

I'm not an expert, but I've had this kind of problem before. However, since I "got rid of" the mouse (a gift from an insurer...what a gift!) and replaced it with an "optical" one (purchased in the store), I haven't had any more issues, like the pointer getting stuck, needing to turn off the computer with the keyboard, then turning it back on, only to find myself in the same situation a few minutes later. Well, it's all good now! I believe that these types of glitches are related to the quality of the mouse. I struggled for two months! A pro gave me this tip eight days ago...and since then everything has been fine. I hope your problem is similar to mine because in that case, "sure it will work."

I solved the problem by simply changing the mouse good luck

Ok hello everyone, I've read the various responses. At first, we really get into the subject, but by the end, we kind of go off track. Just a reminder to everyone that the problem doesn't come from the mouse, but from the computer or the processor. I'm experiencing this issue right now and we don't have time to run an antivirus scan; we only have between 1 and 3 minutes, so please stop with that, thanks :) I've looked into a bunch of things and I've found a few solutions:

1: Change your PC's resolution. To do this, right-click on the desktop, click on screen resolution, and switch to medium or low resolution. Keep in mind that if you choose low, some files may not open, so opt for medium.

2: Go to Start, type msconfig in the search bar, which will open a page with different interfaces. Click on Startup and uncheck all folders except your antivirus, or uncheck certain components, then click OK.

So here are two proposed methods. I will look into it further this week, and let me know if the problem is resolved.

See you soon!
