    Hi Atharva,

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Update & Security - Troubleshoot

    Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter

    If you are using a Wireless mouse, unplug it for a minute or two, then try it again . ..

    Finally if the above does not resolve the issue, check the manufacturers website for a newer device driver . . .
