W11 almost unusable
- Feb 13, 2026
Yesterday the PC became almost unusable so I decided to reinstall W11 (keeping my files). While it was doing that, I went to my back-up PC that uses the same mouse/keyboard via a switch. That too was exhibiting weird behavior, and I found that it was the Hypex mouse causing the problem.
So it looks like the problem was the mouse, and I now have to reinstall all my software etc. I don't game so will be sticking to a 'simple' mouse from now on.
Check Language & Region settings:
Settings > Time & Language > Language.
Remove any languages you don’t need.
Make sure your preferred input method is selected.
Thanks. I have checked all those except the preferred input method. I can't find that in settings.
