So, over the last day or so, I noticed that the mouse was starting to stick or lag onscreen, and then randomly the cursor just disappeared offscreen entirely. Rebooting worked for getting it all back to normal, but just now it happened again (after working fine all day), now the mouse isn't recognised at all, even after reboot.
I've unplugged it and plugged it back in, and while the lights in the mouse itself work fine, that's it.
It's the original, wired Dell mouse that came with the PC when I bought it years back.
At the moment I can't find my wireless mouse to try, it'll be around somewhere, and that's not really going to suit as a permanent option, because I'm likely to get VERY annoyed when the batteries die.
All the searches I've done suggest that it could be a problem with a recent Windows 10 update (though those posts were 2015), but I would have expected it to stop working as soon as the new update was installed, which it didn't.
