Did you notice that your mouse is not scrolling at the same speed as earlier? Speed can be an issue with your Windows 10 PC mouse at times, causing difficulty to navigate around the screen. You may also face trouble while moving the mouse horizontally or vertically. This issue is as serious as the sensitivity issue with the right cursor of your mouse. Worst is, the consistent slow speed can cause considerable stress to your wrists.
As serious it may be, there is a much easier and effective way to get the speed of your Windows 10 PC mouse back to normal. Let’s see how to fix the issue for a physical mouse.
