Mouse and Keyboard get stuck in lightburn

I haven’t use Lightburn in months. I’m back at it again, however, now, both my mouse and keyboard get stuck. I’m on a windows 10.

When I close Lightburn my mouse and keyboard work perfect. Please help me.

This is really unusual. Are the mouse and Keyboard both USB devices? Sometimes USB devices are wireless and have a little dongle that plugs into a USB port. The port can be on the back of a desktop unit.

I’ll ask internally if this has already been seen or if we’re starting with something new.

Thanks for letting us know.

Hi.

I haven’t been using Lightburn that long so anything like that hasn’t happened (yet ;)), but I do have noticed similar behaviour (HP255 G4) with various pieces of external HW, especially HD units that draw power via USB.

I’n not computer-savy enough to know whether that’s USB data/power management issue, or a chipset feature.
Or even an Win10 issue ;).

More likely though, if the keyboard and mouse are indeed USB devices, it’s probably a simple case of USB prioritizing where LB has a higher priority and the other data traffic through the ports that share the same adress is halted.

Fortunately Win10 has been running smoothly enough (knocks on unpainted wood ;)) for my uses that I’ve not had the need to dig any deeper so I don’t know whether it allows the user to scan and resolve port conflicts relatively safely like it allowed in XP.

Regards.
Sam

One of the developers asked, “How do you close LightBurn with a ‘Stuck’ keyboard and mouse?” I originally read ‘stuck’ as not operating or not responding but maybe you mean ‘slow to respond’, lagging or lurching.

Either way, very unusual and we’d love to know more.
