Hello!

This problem began several days ago (definitely some time in the past week).

When waking my desktop up from sleep mode in Windows 8, the mouse is unresponsive for 1 to 2 minutes, and then I will here the "USB disconnect" sound, immediately followed by the USB "plug-in" sound, and it begins working as normal.

I have never encountered this problem on any Windows 8 computer over the past year. I suspect that a recent Winows update may have borked something, and if this is the case, how should I go about removing this update safely? And if this isn't likely, what are some alternative measures I could take to identify the root of the problem?

thanks a lot for any help!
