I was having the same problem and here's what worked for me:
remove the USB transceiver
open the DEVICE MANAGER
right click on MICE AND OTHER POINTING DEVICES and choose SCAN FOR HARDWARE CHANGES
right click on UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLERS and choose SCAN FOR HARDWARE CHANGES
insert the USB transceiver
Your computer should detect the mouse and function properly
I have to repeat this process pretty much every time I start my laptop, but it's only a couple steps and not really a huge nusiance.
Good luck.
