I felt uneasy of using the right side USB port of my PC and so I switched the Nano receiver of the M305 Logitech mouse to the left side and used the available port to install the new scanner that I recently bought. Since then, the problem on my mouse has started.
The mouse stopped working, and this error message appeared “USB device is not recognized.” Therefore, I uninstalled the mouse driver, restarted my PC and reinstalled it again but it was still not working. I had also downloaded a new mouse driver and installed it to my PC, but it didn’t work.
The receiver cannot still be recognized. Was the switching of the usage of the USB port had caused the problem?
Any logical solution will be appreciated.
Thank you.

If you think the problem is with the USB port where your mouse is connected, try transferring it to another available USB port then see if it works. By default, there should be at least four USB ports at the back of the CPU plus one or more USB ports in the front panel if this is supported.
You need to plug your mouse to all the USB ports available on your computer to troubleshoot it. If your mouse didn’t work in all those ports, try connecting it on another computer then see if it works there. If the mouse also didn’t work on the other computer, the problem is with your mouse. It can be with the plug, the cable, or the mouse itself.
If you are using a wireless mouse, it can be with the USB wireless receiver that you plug on the USB port, weak batteries, or the mouse itself. In this case, you need to replace the mouse with a new one. On the other hand, if the mouse works on the other computer, the problem can be with the USB ports or an unsupported driver.
Check that the driver for your mouse supports your operating system.
