Yesani Kukonza Mwamsanga Awa Choyamba

It’s best to kick things off by working through the quick fixes below. You might be dealing with a trivial issue that doesn’t require advanced troubleshooting.

  • Yambitsani kompyuta yanu: Usually, restarting your computer is all it takes to resolve problems in Windows. Save your work and select Start > mphamvu > Yambitsaninso to perform a system reboot.
  • Turn Your Mouse Off & On: Likewise, it’s a good idea to restart the device firmware of the Bluetooth mouse. Locate the mphamvu switch on the Bluetooth mouse and set it to Off, ndiye On.
  • Move Your Mouse Closer: Bluetooth devices don’t function well at a distance. Reduce the gap between your computer and mouse if you use them far apart. 
  • Eliminate Bluetooth Interference: Make sure that there are no sources of Bluetooth interference (e.g., usually other wireless devices) nearby or between your computer and mouse.
  • Yambitsaninso Mbewa Yanu: A mouse with little charge remaining can weaken its Bluetooth signal. Connect your mouse to a USB port to recharge it or insert fresh batteries.
  • Switch to Another Surface: Avoid smooth surfaces to improve cursor control. 

Yambitsani Bluetooth Troubleshooter

Windows 11 comes with a built-in Bluetooth troubleshooter that can automatically detect and fix connectivity issues with Bluetooth devices. To run it:

1. kutsegula Start menyu ndi kusankha Zikhazikiko.

2. Mpukutu pansi System settings and select the option labeled Kusokoneza.

3. Sankhani Ena othetsa mavuto.

4. Mpukutu pansi ndi kusankha Thamangani batani pafupi Bluetooth. 

Install Support Software & Drivers

Bluetooth pointing devices work best with additional support software and mouse drivers—Logitech Zosankha, Razer Synfall, etc. Look up the Bluetooth mouse model online and install any applicable software from the manufacturer.

If you’ve already done that, update the software (visit the application’s settings page and look for a Fufuzani Zowonjezera option or something similar) and see if that eliminates the lag.

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.

1. Dinani kumanja pa Start batani ndi kusankha Pulogalamu yoyang'anira zida.

2. Wonjezerani Bluetooth category, right-click the Bluetooth module—e.g., Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)-ndipo sankhani Zida.

3. Pitani ku Mphamvu za Ulamuliro tabu ndikuchotsa bokosi lomwe lili pafupi ndi Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power. Kenako, sankhani OK.

If that fails to resolve the issue, expand the Zipangizo Zothandizira Paumunthu category (further down the Device Manager) and open the Zida pane for Bluetooth Low Energy GATT compliant HID. Ndiye, kusintha kwa Mphamvu za Ulamuliro tab and clear the box next to Allow the computer to turn off the device to save power.

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 musanayambe.

1. Onetsetsani Windows + R to open the Run box. Then, type regedit Ndi kukanikiza Lowani.

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

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Ena > USB

Next, expand the folder that begins with VID_8087 (mwachitsanzo, VID_8087&PID_0026) and then the sub-folder with the numbers and letters (e.g., 5&ed1e05a&0&10). Finally, select Chipangizo Parameters.

3. Double-click each of the following keys on the right side of the Registry Editor window, add a hexadecimal value of 0, ndi kusankha OK.

  • DeviceSelectiveSuspended
  • SelectiveSuspendEnabled
  • SelectiveSuspendSupported

Zindikirani: If any of the keys above appear missing, right-click a vacant area and select yatsopano > Phindu la 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. kutsegula Start menyu ndi kusankha Zikhazikiko.

2. Select the category labeled Mphamvu & batri.

3. Tsegulani menyu yotsitsa pafupi ndi Mphamvu yamphamvu ndi kusankha Kuchita bwino kwambiri.

Remove and Reconnect Bluetooth Mouse

The following fix involves removing and reconnecting your Bluetooth mouse or trackpad. That should help eliminate issues with a corrupt Bluetooth device configuration.

1. kutsegula Yambani mndandanda ndi kusankha Zikhazikiko.

2. Sankhani Bluetooth & zida on the Settings sidebar. 

3. Sankhani Zambiri icon (three dots) next to your Bluetooth mouse and select Chotsani chipangizo > inde.

4. Sankhani Onjezerani chipangizo.

5. Sankhani Bluetooth and repeat the pairing process to re-establish the Bluetooth connection between your mouse and computer.

Check for Bluetooth Driver Updates

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. kutsegula Pulogalamu yoyang'anira zida.

2. Wonjezerani Bluetooth gulu.

3. Right-click the Bluetooth module and select Sungani woyendetsa.

4. Sankhani Browser my computer for drivers.

5. Sankhani Wonani and locate the downloaded driver package on your computer. Then, select Ena kuchita zosintha.

Uninstall and Reinstall Bluetooth Drivers

If you can’t find newer updates, try removing and reinstalling the Bluetooth driver for your PC. Make sure to use a wired mouse to interact with the GUI in the meantime.

1. kutsegula Pulogalamu yoyang'anira zida.

2. Wonjezerani Bluetooth gulu.

3. Right-click the Bluetooth module and select Chotsani chipangizo.

4. Chongani bokosi pafupi ndi Yesani kuchotsa dalaivala wa chipangizochi ndi kusankha Yambani.

5. Restart your computer. Windows 11 will automatically reinstall the Bluetooth driver at startup. If it doesn’t, re-open the Pulogalamu yoyang'anira zida ndi kusankha Action > Sakanizani kusintha kwa hardware.

Sinthani Madalaivala a Zithunzi

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).

Sinthani 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. kutsegula Yambani mndandanda ndi kusankha Zikhazikiko.

2. Sankhani Windows Update on the Settings sidebar.

3. Sankhani Fufuzani zosintha.

4. Sankhani Koperani tsopano kukhazikitsa zosintha zomwe zilipo.

Additionally, select Zosintha zamakono > Zosintha and install any Microsoft-verified driver updates for the Bluetooth mouse, the Bluetooth module, and the graphics card.

Sakani pa Malware

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

Thandizani Kuyamba Kufulumira

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. kutsegula Start menyu, mtundu Gawo lowongolera, ndi kukanikiza Lowani.

2. Sankhani Chipangizo ndi Zomveka.

4. Sankhani Sinthani makonda omwe palibe.

5. Uncheck the box next to Tembenuzani kuyambira mwamsanga (kutchulidwa) and select Save changes.

Kodi Chinanso Mungachite Chiyani?

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.
