Method 2:

I suggest you to update all the drivers and check if that helps. If that issue persist please uninstall and reinstall latest drivers available in manufacturer website.

• Press “Windows + X” and select
  Device manger.
• Select Mouse and expand the driver icon.
• Right click on the driver icon and click on

mouse keeps disconnecting randomly

Thank you so much for the response.
I have tried my best to follow all the steps you listed but none seem to work.
I've ended up with one of my mouse's not being able to connect at all after completing **"Press Start then search Device Manager" which worries me.

I have also tried three different mouse's which all have the same disconnecting problem.

If there’s any other way you can help I would appreciate it a lot.

PS sorry if I’m not making sense I’m beyond confused
