Question How to enable/disable mouse on desktop

[R0gu3]

Hi.

My son accidently disabled the mouse by, I think, pressing some buttons.

The lights of the mouse are turned on (it's a wired mouse).
The mouse is working when plugged in to another computer.
USB port works fine
Pilotes and windows are updated.
Any mouse plugged in don't work.

I'm on windows 10 on a desktop computer.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Make and model mouse?

Will the mouse work if you boot into Safe Mode?

Try running the built in Windows Troubleshooters. The troubleshooters may find and fix something.

Manually download the mouse drivers directly from the manufacturer's website. Reinstall and reconfigure.

No third party tools or installers.

Using only the keyboard, open Device Manager and delete all of the mice, then reboot.

You'll have to know the usual keyboard shortcuts to navigate around (Ctrl-Esc or Windows Key to get Start Menu, Tab to move selections if arrows won't work and Alt to show the underline letters in Menus, space to select, etc)
