BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal mouhid.sys - Windows 10 Recent Installation

[Capefearless]

I got a Blue Screen this Morning with the message: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal mouhid.sys.

Computer rebooted and is working fine now (so far)

I ran whocrashed and it reported:

On Wed 8/26/2015 4:53:40 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\082615-6250-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: mouhid.sys (0xFFFFF800D3E4107F)
Bugcheck code: 0xD1 (0x19, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFF800D3E4107F)
Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\mouhid.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System

description: HID Mouse Filter Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

So, it appears that the mouse driver is the culprit. I just updated to Windows 10 3-4 days ago, coming from Windows 7. Noticed an issue that the middle mouse button would not function correctly in SketchUp. Disabled/removed drivers, plugged in mouse, windows found new driver. No help. Changed mice and it worked fine. Figured it was just a bad mouse and moved on. everything fine until today.

Checked for latest driver and it is up to date. Looked at driver details and there appear to be 2 drivers (yes, there were 2 drivers the other day, not sure if this is normal, a remnant of changing over from W7, or an issue so I left it alone then and now).

C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\mouclass.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\mouhid.sys

Should I delete one of the drivers? Both and reinstall? Switch to another driver or...?

This driver stuff scares me a little as I know conflicts can create issues and this is my production machine.

I searched and didn't see this issue, please link me to it if I'm mistaken.

Please help. Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

In general, a single, non-repeating BSOD in your case may be caused by a lot of things, not just a bad mouse driver, especially if you report that you have been using a mouse on the same OS installation for a long time without problems. If it does not happen again, you don't have to worry. If the mouse driver fails again, though, you can try performing a System Restore to the time before the problems started occurring.
