Mouse and keyboard freeze

[rocky77]

The mouse freeze only occurs on startup and a restart usually fixes the problem until the next day at start up.

Sounds like a driver issue. Try updating the on board driver or look for the specific driver for your mouse.

Thanks for the driver update suggestion. I had many drivers that needed updating and so I purchased a Avast driver updater and that fixed all my screen freezings but everything on my screen appeared much larger than it usually was. So I played around a bit and was able to decrease all the size a bit. But two days later windows had a big update that took 1 hour or more and low and behold my computer was all back to normal. Thanks for everyone’s help.

Windows probably reset the default driver. I'd try reinstalling the mouse driver again, only. Windows will use their own driver first cause they think it is newer.

One lesson to learn about drivers, they only need to be updated IF one is having issues with a device.

Also (1), these so called driver updater are a waste of money and my mess up one's machine.

Also (2), do not us the Windows updates as your source of drivers, always go to the device OEM to get the needed driver.
Most of the drivers at MS are older ones as it takes a long time to get them approved by MS and then posted.
