How to replace system file?
I have a major problem on my desktop Win 10 Pro X64 computer. I won't go into all the detail since I'm still problem solving on my own. However, I do need help with one issue so I can continue problem solving.
Part of the problem is that my mouse is not working and it really hard to navigate. The device manager reports that the driver is unable to load and may be damaged. Looking at the drivers, file hidclass.sys is 0KB and I suspect that is the problem with the mouse (that file is 152KB on my laptop). I've tried to update the driver but Windows tells me that I have the latest edition. Removing the drivers and uninstalling the device from within Device Manager didn't correct the issue. I've tried to connect a different mouse on a different USB port and also tried a wireless mouse but all failed.
Now I'm trying to manually delete the hidclass.sys file so a new version can be installed. However, I get a window telling me that I need permission from "TrustedInstaller" to do this. Every time I push "Try Again", end up with the same message.
Any idea how I can delete or update this driver?
