Method 1: Check Battery Power of the Wireless Mouse

To Check the Battery of Laser Mouse: See the Power Indicator To Check the Battery of Bluetooth Mouse: Go to Start > Control Panel > Mouse > Bluetooth and Check the “Total Battery Power Remaining” Status
Method 2: Remove and Connect USB Receiver and Wireless Mouse Battery
In many cases, the problem is fixed automatically by just removing the USB Receiver and Wireless Mouse Batteries for 5 seconds and then reconnecting them back.
Method 3: Scan for Hardware Changes
Although, this method is not very effective because most devices are plug n play, automatically detected but it should still be attempted. The Device Manager, allows you to push the system to scan and detect any hardware. Sometimes, if the mouse isn’t detected, this can help push it through. To open Device Manager, Hold Windows + R Keys and type “hdwwiz.cpl”. Click OK. Locate “Mice and other pointing devices” and click on it. Click Action from the top menu, and choose “Scan for hardware changes”.
Method 4: Re-Sync your Wireless Mouse with USB Receiver
Press the Connect Button on USB Receiver, the light on the receiver will start blinking. (Skip this step if your device does not have a button). If a dialog box appears on the computer screen; follow the instructions otherwise, go to the next step. Press and Release the Connect button on the bottom of the mouse. Some may have a micro switch which can be pressed and released by using a pen or pin. Your mouse is synced with the receiver, if the blinking stops or there is a steady Green light on the Receiver.
Method 5: Try Different Port or Computer
If the above mentioned methods do not work, connect your wireless mouse to another usb port on your computer or any other computer and test if its working. If it shows same behavior then the mouse has faulted and will need to be replaced.
