I was using my mouse when suddenly, it had stopped working. I checked device manager, and it comes up with Error 43, a request for the device requester fail.
Fix, please?
It's an MX 518 Logitech Gaming mouse.
Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

Based off of Logitech's support page there are drivers available for your OS paired with the aforementioned peripheral. Have go with the drivers and see if the issue is averted. You may also want to stop the automatic device drivers update feature within OS. Another work around is to remove the device in Device Manager and scan for hardware changes. If the issue cropped up after a mandatory windows update took place you can perform a system restore but a repair install will be equally worthwhile with limited hassle. It'd be a good idea to back up your critical content though before pursuing any avenue on Windows 10.
