Cursor freezes

The cursor, controlled by my wired mouse, connected to a Mac Mini, freezes from time to time. I can restore operation by unplugging and then re-plugging the mouse, but the it freezes again after some time (minutes, hours?). How can I fix this?

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Mouse cursor freezing on 2024 MacBook Pro I purchased a new 2024 MacBook Pro with Apple M4 Max chip. The mouse cursor for my wired MacAlly mouse freezes on the screen occasionally. It starts moving again after unplugging and re-plugging the connector to the USB port. Any solutions? I reinstalled the operating system but the problem persists. Thanks.

Logitech MX Anywhere 3 - IMAC - Mouse constantly freezing Using a Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse (which I like much better that a magic mouse), however, the constant freezing of the pointer every minute or two is driving me nuts. Does anyone ha=ve a solution for this? [Edited by Moderator]

I have same problem on 2 Mac Studios and a Macmini. Restarting Mac or just unplugging wired mouse and then plugging back restores pointer/cursor. Mouse buttons still work when this happens.
