My USB mouse (nothing fancy): Connect IT CI-390.
It happens in Windows 10 x64, usually once or twice per half an hour. It is really annoying when Windows decides to stop my mouse for half a second. I am mostly using Linux without any issues - this mouse lags have not occurred once under Linux (Kubuntu 16.04). I am using Windows only for gaming, so I was really surprised that Windows fail even in that task - I always thought that HW compatibility is under Windows (current/supported version) great.
Any ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix it?
Turning off antivirus (Avast) and firewall (Comodo) doesn't help. OS is fully updated. Also note that whole PC doesn't lag (freeze), only mouse - e.g. the game is still running, I am able to move my character via keyboard. It happens even when not in-game, just using browser. One time it happened when I didn't have opened any application, just for half a second mouse was frozen and I could not move the cursor on desktop.
I suspect Windows are doing something wrong with USB, because it seems that a set of wireless game-pads (which works flawlessly when connected to other PC) is being every ~20 minutes disconnected and reconnected (USB beep sound and momentarily non-responsive controls). But I have no idea how to troubleshoot this USB failures.
Edit1: Tried different ports, reinstalled mouse drivers (well, I doubt they are really different since they are the generic ones for HID devices). For the record the mouse is "WARLORD MOUSE for gamers; connect IT CI-390". I doubt the mouse is responsible, because this mouse freeze literally NEVER happened under Linux (I am using it several times more than Windows) and in previous Windows 10 installation it was also working fine.
Bought new mouse and this time Windows are not broken and mouse is working as well as in Linux. It is sad that I had to buy a new mouse, because gaming OS had broken support and (by many ppl) non-desktop OS was running it always without a hitch...
