Fix mouse pausing issues
My work laptop was recently upgraded to a Dell Latitude E6500 running Windows 7.
I wanted a mouse that didn’t have a cable or require a dongle. So, I installed a Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card (purchased for $9.95 from eParts and More), installed the Dell drivers and paired the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 that I got on eBay for $29.95.
Everything went smooth except that randomly the mouse would pause / freeze for a few seconds and then start working again. This got annoying very quickly. I did some searching and found quite a lot of posters with the same problem but no solution. I tried various solutions with no success but then found some information that led to a solution that worked for me. I thought I would post here in the hope of helping others solve this frustrating issue.
Go to Control Panel and select Power Options. Select the High Performance plan and then Select Change plan settings. Select Change advanced power settings. Scroll down to USB settings and click the + to expand. Click + to expand USB selective suspend setting. Disable Plugged in and On battery. Click Apply / OK and then close the power plan window.
The mouse will no longer pause / freeze.
