Investigate issues with devices stopping working after hibernate

Open evilC opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

It seems maybe devices get a new ID after the PC comes out of sleep / hibernate?

So I've faced this issue many times now and when I did I always did a restart, since that's the only thing that works; Replugging, Disabling and Uninstalling don't work.

Any external mouse stops to work when I unplug it and replug it, not when hibernating; so this changed. When this happens the device also isn't shown anymore in the Monitor.

This is a known issue. Unplugging and replugging a device will cause the ID to increment.
Once it increments to beyond ID 10 (For keyboards) or 20 (For mice), it will cease to function
There is nothing I can do to fix this, it is an issue with Interception, and he will not fix it.

Ohh,... Could we restart the Inception driver? Perhaps this would reset the ID count, reinitialize it or so.

for some reason just restarting doesnt fix it for me. I have to unninstall keyboard drivers first and then restart.
