Disable Power Management for Bluetooth Adapter

If your Bluetooth mouse lags when left idle for a few seconds, use the Device Manager in Windows 11 to disable power management for the PC’s Bluetooth module.

Disable Bluetooth Power Management by Modifying Registry Keys

If the above fix doesn’t help, you must modify a set of registry keys related to Bluetooth power management via the Windows 11 Registry Editor. However, since accidental changes can break the operating system, we recommend backing up the system registry abans de procedir.

1. Premeu Windows + R to open the Run box. Then, type regedit i premi Enter.

2. Navigate to the following folder on the Registry Editor’s left pane:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > enum > USB

Nota: If any of the keys above appear missing, right-click a vacant area and select nou > Valor DWORD (32-bit). Then, name it as the absent key and save it with a hexadecimal value of 0.

Switch Performance Plan

Another way to avoid Bluetooth mouse lag caused by PC power management is to configure your Windows 11’s default power mode for best performance. However, that can hurt the battery life of laptop devices.

1. obrir el Començar menu i seleccionar Configuració.

2. Select the category labeled Potència i bateria.

3. Obriu el menú desplegable que hi ha al costat Mode de potència i seleccionar Millor actuació.

If the mouse lag problem persists, download the latest Bluetooth drivers from your PC manufacturer—Dell, HP, Acer, etc. Then, run the setup file within the downloaded package or perform the update via the Device Manager.

1. obrir el Gestor de dispositius.

2. Amplieu el Bluetooth categoria.

3. Right-click the Bluetooth module and select Actualitza el controlador.

4. Selecciona Browser my computer for drivers.

2. Amplieu el Bluetooth categoria.

3. Right-click the Bluetooth module and select Desinstal·la el dispositiu.

Actualitzeu els controladors gràfics

Outdated video drivers can also result in a laggy mouse pointer. Check the card manufacturer’s website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, etc.) for possible updates. Alternatively, use a third-party driver updater tool or Windows Update to acquire the latest video drivers for your PC (more on that next).

Actualitzeu Windows 11

If the Bluetooth mouse lag persists, try updating Windows 11 to its latest version. That should patch out any known issues in the operating system that prevent Bluetooth devices from functioning correctly.

1. obrir el menú d'inici i seleccionar Configuració.

Cerca de programari maliciós

Computer viruses are another reason that induces mouse or touchpad lag. Use the built-in Seguretat de Windows tool (accessible via the system tray) or a dedicated anti-malware utility-tal com Malwarebytes—to thoroughly scan your PC for malware.

Desactiva l'inici ràpid

Next up, consider disabling Fast Startup in Windows 11. It helps boot up your PC faster and has a history of causing problems with input devices.

1. obrir el Començar menú, escriviu Panell de control, i premeu Enter.

2. Selecciona Maquinari i so.

Què més pots fer?

If none of the fixes above work, here are a few other things to try:

  • Use the Bluetooth mouse as a standard wireless mouse. Logitech mice, such as the Logitech MX Master, come with a unifying receiver that offers better connectivity than Bluetooth. 
  • Run an SFC or a DISM scan to resolve underlying problems with your Windows 11 PC. 
  • Pair and use the Bluetooth mouse on another computer (PC or Mac). If the mouse lag issue persists, you’re likely dealing with a defective device—send it back for a replacement if it’s still under warranty. If not, continue troubleshooting your PC in Safe Mode.
