I admit I don't understand why we're discussing removing interface drivers when I want to remove a mouse driver (I want to remove the malfunctioning Dell driver so that the Dell mouse driver will re-install cleanly I hope). Also I had my connection to the internet turned off so Windows couldn't install a driver that way when I re-started. Both drivers re-appear when I re-started the computer even though I only had one mouse plugged in. My system has two drivers, one for the Logitech mouse and one for the Dell mouse. I don't think the drivers got uninstalled when I tried with Control Panel. Just test the mouse on another computer.Įarlier you said, "It's just detecting the hardware automatically when the system boots.' I don't think that's what's happening. There may be others for Logitech or other devices. The interface drivers are hidclass.sys, hidparse.sys, hidusb.sys but I don't recommend removing those as you can cripple your system and would need to boot off a Linux disk or something to copy them back.

That's what I was trying to do.ĭo you know how to navigate without a mouse in the computer? If you remove the mouse drivers, no mouse will work when you plug it in till you load the drivers.

How do I remove the drivers from the system. I'll take the mouse to work tomorrow to test it, but that wasn't really my concern at this point. (Before trying to uninstall the mice drivers, I connected a Logitech mouse to test the doubleclicking and the driver downloaded and it's fine, not doubleclicking, but I'm concerned because my computer won't uninstall either mouse driver.) And by the way, I tried uninstalling them in safe mode and restarting once normally and once in safe mode again and get the same result, they're not uninstalled when I reboot. It's not downloading them either since I turned off the internet connection to test that and only the Dell mouse is connected now. Then I restart the computer and the mouse immediately works and both these mice re-appear in the Device Manager. When I uninstall it (Control Panel, Device Manager, Mice and other pointing devices, HID-compliant mouse (two of these actually, one is for my Dell mouse, the other one must be for the Logitech mouse that I troubleshooted with), the mouse stops working when I uninstall them. Maybe it's just old that it started to double-click at times when I single click, however I'd like to uninstall the driver and re-install it to eliminate the possibility of it being driver corruption. I have used my wired mouse on my computer for years.
