Mouse issue

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hi all,

for one week now (probably caused by an Avast software update) I’m encountering a problem. After booting the machine the mouse (Logitech 220) is locked for 30-60 seconds on the welcome screen before I can log in. This behavior is present in the free and in the Premium Security versions. Wheniever I uninstall Avast the problem goes and it comes back when I reinstall Avast. Uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse doesn’t help either. Is there an installation option which may avoid this problem?

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Please no suggestions to update to W10: I’m using Avast BECAUSE I’m on W7 and I’m still on W7 because my software doesn’t like W10 :wink:

Any hints?

Thank you
Orplid

Hi,

Are you using a Laptop and is the touchpad working at this point?
Is the issue the same when plugging the mouse into any other free USB port?

It’s a very old desktop PC (Asus P5Q based) and the mouse is a Logitech radio mouse P220. Well, I tried to switch the USB port from the port which always used to work for years with this mouse to another port and (I hate to say it :wink: it works! Probably it will work, too, when I switch the mouse receiver back to the old port…

Thank you for the hint. Although I’m earning my money with computers for about 30 years, I’ll never understand their soul…
