Can you try using your mouse on safemode and check whether it working properly over there?

If it works on safe mode then check these settings:


  1. Open the Device Manager.
  1. Expand the mouse (mice) option in Device Manager by clicking the + symbol.
  2. Remove all mice listed by highlighting each device and then pressing the delete key on the keyboard.

Is special 'mouse' driver installed or are using standard drivers?
A freeze can also be the result of an overheating. Have you checked that?

Check the port and wire of the mouse properly and restart the system and then try again
