How do I fix a glitchy or unresponsive mouse on my laptop?

< 1 min read


  1. Connect your mouse to another port: If you're using a USB mouse, try connecting it to a different USB port.
  2. Try connecting another mouse: Connect an alternate mouse to see if it works. An external mouse should work even if the laptop's trackpad isn't working.
  3. Check Mouse Settings: Adjust mouse Pointer speed, Double-click speed and Click speed. Try setting the speed to its maximum.
  4. Update your laptop's drivers: Update your laptop's Mouse Drivers from the system manufacturer's website.
  5. Turn off your laptop and reconnect the mouse: Power off your laptop. Disconnect the mouse and reconnect. Power on your laptop and check if the mouse works.
  6. Check your laptop's touch settings: Disable the Touchpad from the Control Panel and check if the mouse works properly.
