Home / Driver Updater / Mouse
The mouse is plugged in or paired, the sensor light is on, and the cursor does not move. Or a wireless mouse drops every few minutes, the cursor stutters, or Device Manager shows “USB Input Device” with a yellow triangle. The free scan shows which driver the mouse is running on right now and which drivers are missing or outdated.
Your PC is currently running: Windows
The light on the sensor is on, but Windows does not react. In Device Manager the mouse is under Other devices or shows a warning mark: the driver is not installed or failed.
The mouse pairs, works for a while and drops, or has to be paired again after every restart. A typical sign of an outdated driver on the connection.
The cursor jumps or hangs for a second, especially under load. A typical sign of an outdated driver after a Windows update.
After a Windows update the mouse works only in some ports, or stops working after sleep until you unplug and replug it.
A free scan can identify the installed hardware and show available driver information.
These are the standard Windows checks - they take a few minutes and sometimes do the trick:
The weak spot of the manual route: at the "Update driver" step Windows searches only its own catalog, which is often missing or outdated for the exact model - it can report that the best driver is already installed even when a newer one exists. The free scan checks your devices against a database of 1,000,000+ drivers, so one pass shows whether better versions are available.
The application identifies the hardware installed on your PC and checks the current driver information.
See detected devices, installed driver versions and available updates. Nothing changes during the scan.
Review the results and decide which available updates you want to apply.
A license is required only if you choose to apply the available updates.

The mouse itself and the whole path it connects through: the USB port, the receiver or the Bluetooth adapter. The scan reads the hardware IDs and shows every driver on that path that is missing or outdated, so you do not have to guess which one is at fault.
Often yes, especially on laptops after a Windows update. The second usual cause is USB power saving turning the receiver off. The scan shows whether the drivers are current; the power setting is in Device Manager, as described above.
No. Nothing changes during the scan. Driver updates are applied only after you review the results and choose what to update.
Yes. Each detected item can be reviewed, applied or skipped individually. Backup and restore options are available before updates are applied, so a previous driver version can be restored if necessary.
The button downloads Outbyte Driver Updater, a Windows desktop application. The website itself does not scan your computer in the browser - the check runs in the application after you install and start it.
The scan and results are free. A license is required only if you choose to download and apply the available updates. Current pricing and license terms are shown before purchase.
Supports Windows 11 and 10 · Uninstall anytime via Settings → Apps · If no updates are found, the scan still shows the current driver state of your devices.
