I thought perhaps the USB Bus had died, but the wireless network usb adapter is still functioning. My wife's logitech wireless M325 combo works just fine. My Redragon Mammoth corded mouse does not. When I look at the device manager, the mice are listed but with a warning icon saying no suitable driver can be found. Select the device you want to unpair from the list in the left and click on the Un-pair button in the right. So, by following the above steps, you learnt how to use the same USB receiver to connect up to 6 other Logitech wireless devices. Not only is it more convenient, you also save energy and your USB ports to connect other devices as well.
