Safe Mode: USB mouse won't work
Folks,
This should be simple...
I can boot into Safe Mode. That's cool. Safe Mode - Start Windows 10 in - Windows 10 Forums
Unfortunately, I cannot use my USB mouse. I can use it in BIOS, but not in Safe Mode. It is attached to a motherboard USB header, directly, just like the keyboard. The keyboard IS usable in Safe Mode, so at least the USB drivers seem to be loading. (USB keyboard, if I have not made that clear.)
The keyboard is a Logitech G110. In Safe Mode some of its functions (lit keys, for example) don't work. However, tab, control, the Windows key, etc., all work. Good enough.
The mouse, a Logitech MX518, does not work. That makes it extremely hard for a non-expert user to get around windows. (Oh, it was a LOT of fun when I used the msconfig technique to boot into Safe Mode. THAT took quite a bit of fun to discover that Win-R would bring up the run window so I could tab along to deselect Safe Mode. LOL... Like I said, a "non-expert".)
Is there any way to load mouse usb drivers in Safe Mode?
Edited to add: I have a second machine, call it "B". In Safe Mode, its Logitech (G5) USB mouse works. Where/how do I find the settings in "A" which will make it work like "B"??? Is this a BIOS function or a Win10 function?
Thanks,
Ken
Edited to correct the "B" machine mouse.
