I have a generic usb mouse that works for 10 seconds and then stops working.
1. Device manager doesnt show problems
2. The red light under the mouse still flashes
3. I took it a part and didnt see any burns or.
unattached wires
4. I have tried the mouse on 4 different.
computers and still the same thing.
Has anyone had this problem and was able to fix it?

Does it work in Safe-Mode? Does it work OK in Live Environment?

- Mouse may have a broken wire in the cable?
- Could be a driver issue?
- Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power - Uncheck it?
- In Search >Type cmd > Right click on cmd.exe and select Run as administrator
2. In the window type in: sfc /scannow
- Chipset Drivers installed?
- Is the device compatible with USB 3.0? try plugging in USB 2.0 port

Just use simple logic? what really can be wrong with the mouse?
- Its broke?
- Needs Driver?
- Faulty connection or broken wire? (same for headphones)
- Motherboard Drivers need to be installed for USB to work right?
- Mouse is not backward compatible?
Pretty simple diagnosis really. You answered most of it yourself by saying it don't work in 4 computers lol.
The answer is right there staring at you right in the face.
