I had this problem on my dell xps 12 laptop so I couldn’t even try the mouse solution as I have a touchpad. In this way Windows manages to correct whatever erroneous setting that might have been in the registry setting. The simple fix has always been to change one of the settings in the appropriate window, click OK and then change back to whatever it should be, and then click OK again.
It reports one particular setting, but does something else. So this process must have corrected the registry setting that caused the trouble.Īctually, I have come across something related many times before, in the sense that Windows is out-of-step with itself.
Unplugged audiodevice all the time driver#
Changing over to the other cordless mouse initiated an automatic driver installation, which took surprisingly long time, about 5 minutes. So what might the problem have caused the problem? Obviously something related to the mouse driver. Connected the mouse back to the problem PC ( a desktop), and presto! It worked like a charm, as it always have.
Tried with a different cordless mouse, and it was fine! Tried with the “defective” mouse on a Windows 10 laptop, and it worked fine. And then on youtube I also noticed that the sound was gone. Then I noticed that Windows Explorer scrolled right down to the bottom. A loud cheer coming all the way from Oslo, Norway! This worked! First thing I noticed regarding this problem was that it kept changing my selected printer to Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
