This may sound strange but I cannot figure the reasoning behind what is really happening here. About a week ago, my computer starting experiencing significant delays in keyboard and mouse input. Even scrolling web pages became problematic. No new software was recently installed nor were than any other changes made to hardware or other system devices in the past 6 months. As I searched for answers I came across one suggestion to look at the list of devices in my Bluetooth settings and remove any not needed.
When I looked at the "Bluetooth and other devices" settings, I found some strange items that I could not figure out why they would appear there. To begin with, my motherboard does NOT have bluetooth capability. Within the Bluetooth and other devices listings I found 2 listings for Amazon FireSticks that were attached to TVs that I have in the household but each said "Not connected". I also found my Acer monitor listed as an audio device even though it does not have any speakers. I also found another audio device "Realtek HD Audio 2nd output" which I believe is my headphone jack. The Logitech Unifying receiver for my mouse and keyboard was listed as well as my wireless Gateway (modem and router).
I clicked on the Acer monitor and each of the Amazon FireSticks to selected "Remove Device". I left everything else alone as I thought those items were proper.
Magically, the delays and all problems with the mouse and keyboard have gone away.
But magically, the Acer monitor has reappeared as an audio device. So far I have not noticed any signicant problems with either keyboard or mouse as was experienced before.
But now I have left scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck would cause Amazon FireSticks to be listed on the computer bluetooth devices as to why the Acer monitor wants to insist that it is an audio device. Furthermore, I puzzled as to why any devices that were listed as "not connected" would cause any problems to begin with. Does the Win10 OS attempt to reach out and establish contact all by itself and that is what was causing the lag in my inputs as the system was waiting for timeouts from each and every "not connected" device?
Any ideas?
