It can also be that your GPU driver needs to be updated, so that it plays nicely with a newer mouse driver. Alternatively, perhaps you should roll back a new mouse driver which may be causing problems.

If your mouse has this feature, make sure it’s set to the correct profile for the computer you want to use it on. So you can switch between different devices at the touch of a button.
