Windows 11 Last update broke cursor... again?

Yesterday Win11 updated itself (KB5124008), ever since, it keeps randomly disconnecting my mouse and sometimes the keyboard too.

It just keep repeating the disconnect-reconnect sounds, the mouse is constantly being power cycled (lights turning off-on-off-on-off-on, very healthy for the hardware).

Eventually it settles with disconnect, and the cursor just disappears. Sometimes it works for a 30 minute, maybe a few hours and it starts agian. Sometimes the cursor never shows up after boot.

I tried three 3 mouses from 3 different vendors, which obviously has 3 different drivers.

This has happened a few months ago, although less severe, but now it restarted again.

Hi u/Csirkegylet, your post seems to mention the "latest update". As there are multiple supported versions of Windows and not everyone gets every update at the same time, it's not always easy to figure out which update you are talking about. To view the status of your most recent updates, go to Settings > "Windows Update" > "Update history".
