Many users report that they changed the mouse settings to fit their needs, and after a PC restart or a Windows 10 update, those settings reverted. This is a common issue, well-known by Microsoft, and it’s addressed in every new update. When the problem doesn’t solve by itself through an update, you’ll have to do it yourself.

Why do mouse settings keep resetting on Windows 10?

We gather that a few elements can trigger the problem from users who have registered this problem. Here are some that you should take note of:

Outdated drivers – Drivers are essential to linking hardware with software, but when outdated, you may expect some issues. Outdated OS – If the Windows on your PC is old, it may result in conflict with other drivers and OS modules, which might result in the mouse settings being reset again.

While this is not a comprehensive list, it makes up the built of causes. However, the solutions we suggest will help if the mouse settings reset by themselves on Windows 10, if they won’t save, or if Windows 10 mouse settings reset on every login. Additionally, note that the previously detailed solutions also work if you encounter the following errors:

Mouse pointer speed keeps resetting in Windows 10 – Many users describe how mouse options reset every time they restart or turn off the PC. In such a case, you’re entitled to suspect a driver issue or hardware conflict. Mouse DPI keeps resetting – Mouse DPI continuously resetting is also a common bug. If you have Synaptics drivers, changing their settings in the registry often does wonders.

What can I do if mouse settings keep resetting on Windows 10?

1. Run Windows troubleshooter

In many instances, the mouse drivers could be partially installed or defective. You can run Windows’ troubleshooter to solve these kinds of problems.

2. Update the mouse drivers

Furthermore, you can uninstall the drivers, disconnect the mouse, restart your PC, reconnect the mouse and wait for Windows to reinstall the proper drivers. SPONSORED If that does not work, we recommend trying DriverFix, which will scan your PC and update any missing or outdated drivers.

3. Use Registry Editor

If you have Synaptics drivers, this solution will work for you, as it worked for many users. Modifying registry keys can be a bit complicated and cause problems, so be sure to change the keys as stated in the guide.

4. Perform a clean boot

Windows uses only a minimum number of drivers and startup programs in the Clean Boot state. Doing this lets you identify if any third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. We hope that these solutions worked for you. Additionally, you can try some quick common fixes like checking the mouse hardware and changing the USB connection port. Installing the latest updates for Windows 10 could help you out this time too.
