How To Connect a Wireless Mouse to a Computer

A wireless mouse makes it easier to control a computer without dealing with the cables used by traditional wired mice. It allows users to move the mouse freely while working, browsing the internet, playing games or performing other tasks.

Most wireless mice connect to computers through either a USB receiver or Bluetooth. A USB receiver plugs into the computer's USB port, while a Bluetooth mouse connects through the computer's wireless settings without requiring a separate receiver.

Connecting a wireless mouse is usually straightforward, although the steps depend on the type of connection it supports. Here is how to connect a wireless mouse to a laptop or desktop computer.

1. Check the Wireless Mouse Type

Before connecting your wireless mouse, check the type of connection it supports. Most models use one of two connection methods: a USB receiver or Bluetooth.

A USB wireless mouse comes with a small receiver, sometimes called a dongle, that plugs into the computer. The mouse communicates with the receiver to control the pointer.

A Bluetooth wireless mouse connects directly to a computer through Bluetooth. It does not require a separate USB receiver, provided the computer has Bluetooth support.

Some wireless mice support both connection methods, allowing users to choose either option.

2. Insert the Batteries or Charge the Mouse

Make sure the wireless mouse has enough power before attempting to connect it.

If it uses replaceable batteries, open the battery compartment and insert the batteries according to the markings inside. Ensure they are positioned correctly.

For rechargeable models, charge the mouse using its supplied charging cable or another compatible cable.

After providing power, switch on the mouse using its power button. Some models have a small indicator light that shows when the device is switched on.

3. Connect a USB Receiver

If your wireless mouse uses a USB receiver, follow these steps:

1. Locate the small USB receiver supplied with the mouse.
2. Plug the receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
3. Switch on the wireless mouse.
4. Wait for the computer to recognise the device.
5. Move the mouse to check whether the pointer responds on the screen.

Most USB wireless mice work automatically after connecting the receiver. You usually do not need to install additional software.

If your computer only has USB-C ports and the receiver uses USB-A, you may need a compatible USB adapter.

4. Connect a Bluetooth Wireless Mouse on Windows

If your wireless mouse supports Bluetooth, you can connect it through Windows settings without using a USB receiver.

Follow these steps:

1. Switch on the wireless mouse.
2. Put the mouse into Bluetooth pairing mode. This usually involves pressing and holding its Bluetooth or pairing button until the indicator light starts flashing.
3. Open Settings on your Windows computer.
4. Select Bluetooth & devices.
5. Turn on Bluetooth if it is disabled.
6. Select Add device.
7. Choose Bluetooth.
8. Wait for your mouse to appear in the list of available devices.
9. Select the mouse to complete the pairing process.

Once connected, move the mouse to confirm that the pointer responds.

5. Connect a Bluetooth Wireless Mouse on Mac

Mac computers also support Bluetooth mice, allowing users to connect compatible devices without a USB receiver.

To connect one:

1. Switch on the wireless mouse.
2. Activate its Bluetooth pairing mode.
3. Click the Apple menu on your Mac.
4. Open System Settings.
5. Select Bluetooth.
6. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
7. Find your wireless mouse under nearby devices.

After pairing, move the mouse to confirm that it is working properly.

6. Test the Wireless Mouse

After connecting the mouse, check that its main functions work correctly.

Move it across a flat surface to see whether the pointer follows your movements. Test the left and right buttons and scroll wheel to make sure they respond properly.

If the pointer moves too slowly or quickly, you can adjust the mouse speed through your computer's settings.

On Windows, open Settings, select Bluetooth & devices and choose Mouse to access the available options.

On Mac, open System Settings and select Mouse to adjust supported settings such as tracking speed and scrolling behaviour.

How to Fix a Wireless Mouse That Won't Connect

If your wireless mouse does not connect or respond, try these solutions:

• Check the battery: Replace weak batteries or recharge the mouse if its power is low.
• Check the USB receiver: Make sure the receiver is properly connected to the computer. Try another USB port if necessary.
• Enable Bluetooth: If you are using a Bluetooth mouse, confirm that Bluetooth is switched on.
• Activate pairing mode: Put the mouse into pairing mode and try connecting it again.
• Remove and reconnect the device: If the mouse appears in your Bluetooth settings but will not connect, remove it and repeat the pairing process.
• Restart the computer: Restarting the computer can help resolve temporary connection problems.
• Check compatibility: Confirm that the mouse supports your computer's operating system and connection type.

How To Use Your Android Phone As Webcam

You do not always need to buy a separate webcam for your computer. If you have an Android phone with a good camera, you may be able to use it as a webcam for video calls, online meetings, classes and other activities.

There are two main ways to do this. Some Android phones support a built-in USB webcam feature, while phones without it can use a webcam app that connects the phone to a computer.

Check If Your Android Phone Supports Webcam Mode

Android added support for using a compatible device as a USB webcam with Android 14 QPR1. When supported, the phone can appear to a computer as a standard USB webcam. This allows computers running Windows, macOS, Linux or ChromeOS to use the phone's camera.

However, having Android 14 or a newer version does not automatically mean that every phone supports the feature. The phone manufacturer also needs to enable the required webcam functionality.

How To Use Your Android Phone As A USB Webcam

If your phone supports USB webcam mode, you can connect it directly to your computer.

1. Connect your Android phone to the computer using a USB cable.
2. Unlock your phone and open the USB options if they appear.
3. Look for an option such as Webcam or USB Webcam.
4. Select the webcam option.
5. Wait for the computer to recognise the phone as a camera.
6. Open the video calling or recording app you want to use.
7. Open its camera or video settings.
8. Select your Android phone as the camera.

The exact location and name of the USB webcam option can vary between Android phones.

Use A Webcam App If Your Phone Does Not Support USB Webcam Mode

If your Android phone does not have a built-in webcam option, you can use a third-party app instead.

One option is Camo. It has an Android app called Camo Camera and a desktop application called Camo Studio. Camo supports connecting an Android phone to a Windows PC or Mac through Wi-Fi or USB.

How To Use Camo To Turn Your Android Phone Into A Webcam

1. Install Camo Camera on your Android phone.
2. Install Camo Studio on your Windows PC or Mac.
3. Open Camo Camera on your phone.
4. Open Camo Studio on your computer.
5. Connect the phone to the computer using USB or Wi-Fi.
6. Select your phone from the device list in Camo Studio.
7. Check the camera preview to make sure the video is working.
8. Open your video calling or recording app.
9. Select Camo Camera as the camera source.

Camo can work with popular video conferencing, recording and streaming applications.

USB Or Wi-Fi: Which Should You Use?

Both connection methods can work, but they have different advantages.

A USB connection is generally a better choice when you want a more stable connection and lower video latency. It also avoids relying on your Wi-Fi network for the camera feed.

Wi-Fi is more convenient because you do not need to keep the phone connected to the computer with a cable. Camo supports both methods for Android devices.

Position Your Phone Properly

Once your phone is working as a webcam, place it somewhere stable so the camera does not move during a call.

A phone stand or mount can help keep the camera at roughly eye level. You should also make sure there is enough light in front of you rather than directly behind you.

If your phone has multiple cameras, choose the one that gives you the framing and image quality you need.

Keep Your Phone Charged

Using the camera continuously can drain your phone's battery and may also make the device warm.

If you are going to use the phone for a long meeting, class or livestream, keep an eye on the battery level. A USB connection can also be useful because the phone remains connected to the computer during use.

What To Do If Your Android Phone Is Not Detected

If the computer does not recognise your phone as a webcam, try these checks:

• Make sure the USB cable supports data transfer.
• Disconnect and reconnect the phone.
• Unlock the phone after connecting it.
• Check whether your phone has a USB Webcam option.
• Restart the webcam app if you are using one.
• Make sure the required desktop software is installed.
• Check that your video calling app is using the correct camera.
• Try Wi-Fi instead if the app supports wireless connection.

For Camo on Windows, USB connections require USB debugging to be enabled on the Android phone. The process for enabling USB debugging varies between devices.

Can You Use Your Android Phone As A Webcam Without An App?

Yes, but only if your Android phone supports the built-in USB webcam feature.

Android provides USB webcam support from Android 14 QPR1, but the feature is not automatically available on every Android phone. If your phone does not provide a Webcam option in its USB settings, using a compatible webcam app is another option.

Can I Use My Android Phone With Zoom Or Google Meet?

Yes. Once the phone is recognised by the computer as a webcam, you can select it as the camera in supported video calling applications.

When using Camo, for example, you can select Camo Camera as the video source in applications such as Zoom and Google Meet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Android phone work as a webcam?

No. Built-in USB webcam support depends on the Android version and whether the phone manufacturer has enabled the feature.

Do I need a USB cable to use my Android phone as a webcam?

Not always. Some webcam apps support wireless connections, allowing the phone and computer to communicate over Wi-Fi.

Can I use my Android phone as a webcam for a laptop?

Yes. A compatible Android phone can work as a webcam for a Windows PC or Mac through USB or a supported webcam app.

Will using my phone as a webcam drain the battery?

Yes. Continuous camera use can consume a significant amount of battery, so it is a good idea to keep the phone charged during longer sessions.

Microsoft Fixes 974 Security Flaws In September Windows Update

Microsoft has released its September 2026 security updates, addressing hundreds of security vulnerabilities across its products in one of the company's biggest Patch Tuesday releases.

Security researchers counted 974 vulnerabilities addressed in the release, including 113 rated critical. The update also includes fixes for two vulnerabilities that were already being exploited.

The unusually large number of fixes means Windows users and organisations should install the available security updates rather than delay them.

Microsoft Releases September Security Updates

Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday update was released on September 8, 2026.

The fixes cover Windows and several other Microsoft products and services. Researchers have described the release as the largest Patch Tuesday security update recorded by Microsoft.

The vulnerabilities include different types of security flaws, with elevation-of-privilege and remote-code-execution vulnerabilities among the major categories addressed in the update.

Two Vulnerabilities Were Already Being Exploited

One of the main concerns with this month's update is that two of the vulnerabilities had already been exploited before Microsoft released its fixes.

Both are elevation-of-privilege vulnerabilities affecting Windows. Such flaws can allow an attacker who has already gained access to a system to obtain higher levels of control.

The inclusion of actively exploited vulnerabilities makes installing the September security update particularly important for affected Windows systems.

113 Vulnerabilities Rated Critical

Among the vulnerabilities addressed this month, 113 were rated critical by Microsoft, according to security researchers tracking the release.

Critical vulnerabilities can present serious risks when exploited, particularly when they affect widely used software or can be used to execute malicious code.

The September update therefore covers more than routine bug fixes and includes security issues that require attention.

What Windows Users Should Do

Windows users should check for the latest available updates on their computers.

To check for updates on Windows 11:

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Windows Update.
3. Click Check for updates.
4. Download and install available updates.
5. Restart the computer if required.

The exact update available will depend on the version of Windows installed on the device.

Why You Should Not Delay Windows Updates

Security updates are released to fix vulnerabilities that could potentially be used against computers.

Delaying updates leaves known security weaknesses unpatched for longer. This is particularly important when vulnerabilities are already being exploited.

For home users, keeping Windows updated is one of the simplest ways to maintain the security of a computer.

The Update Covers More Than Windows

Although Windows users are directly affected by the operating system updates, Microsoft's September security release covers a much wider range of products.

The September fixes also address vulnerabilities affecting products and services including Microsoft Office, Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, SQL Server and other Microsoft technologies.

This makes the update particularly important for businesses and organisations that rely on Microsoft's wider software ecosystem.

Microsoft Has Released A Record Number Of Fixes

The size of September's release stands out compared with Microsoft's previous monthly updates.

CrowdStrike counted 972 Microsoft vulnerabilities in the September release, while other security trackers reported 973 or 974 depending on how the vulnerabilities were counted.

Regardless of the slight difference in counting, security researchers agree that September's release represents an unusually large Microsoft security update.

Install The September Update

Windows users should check their devices for the September 2026 security updates and install them when available.

With two vulnerabilities already being exploited and more than 100 rated critical, leaving the updates pending for an extended period could expose systems to known security weaknesses.

For most users, checking Settings > Windows Update is the simplest way to see whether the latest security updates are ready to install.

This captures your entire screen and copies it to the clipboard. You can then open an app such as Paint, Microsoft Word or another image editor and press Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot before saving it.

Use Windows + Print Screen

If you want Windows to save the screenshot automatically, press Windows + PrtScn.

Your screen will briefly dim to confirm the capture. The screenshot is then saved automatically in the Pictures folder under Screenshots.

Capture Only the Active Window

If you only need to capture one open window instead of the entire screen, click the window and press Alt + PrtScn.

The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard, allowing you to paste and save it wherever you want.

Use the Snipping Tool

The Snipping Tool gives you more control over screenshots.

Open the tool from the Start menu or press Windows + Shift + S. You can capture the entire screen, a selected window or just a specific part of the display before saving or editing the image.

Take a Screenshot on Mac Computers

Mac computers also include built-in screenshot shortcuts.

Press Command + Shift + 3 to capture the entire screen.

Press Command + Shift + 4 to capture only part of the screen.

Press Command + Shift + 5 to open the Screenshot toolbar, where you can capture the full screen, a selected window or part of the display. The same menu also lets you record your screen.

Where Are Screenshots Saved?

On Windows, screenshots taken with Windows + PrtScn are usually saved in Pictures > Screenshots.

On Mac computers, screenshots are saved to the desktop by default, although you can choose another location through the Screenshot toolbar.

The exact location may vary if you have changed your default screenshot settings.

If you're unsure, check the printer's manual or look for wireless symbols on the device.

Connect Your Phone and Printer to the Same Wi-Fi Network

The easiest way to print wirelessly is to connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.

To do this:

1. Connect your printer to your home or office Wi-Fi network.
2. Open your phone's Wi-Fi settings.
3. Connect your phone to the same network.

Once both devices are on the same network, your phone should be able to detect compatible printers automatically.

Print Using an Android Phone

Android phones support wireless printing through built-in printing services and printer apps.

To print a document:

1. Open the file, photo or webpage you want to print.
2. Tap the menu icon.
3. Select Print.
4. Choose your wireless printer from the list.
5. Adjust print settings if necessary.
6. Tap Print.

If no printer appears, you may need to install your printer manufacturer's mobile app or enable a printing service such as Mopria.

Print Using an iPhone

Apple devices make wireless printing easy through AirPrint.

To print from an iPhone:

1. Open the document, photo or webpage.
2. Tap the Share icon.
3. Select Print.
4. Choose your printer.
5. Set the number of copies and other options.
6. Tap Print.

As long as the printer supports AirPrint and is connected to the same Wi-Fi network, it should appear automatically.

Use Your Printer Manufacturer's App

Many printer brands offer dedicated mobile apps that make setup easier.

Popular printer apps include:

• HP Smart
• Canon PRINT
• Epson Smart Panel
• Brother Mobile Connect

These apps can help you:

• Set up the printer
• Monitor ink levels
• Scan documents
• Print files directly from your phone

In some cases, the manufacturer's app may provide more features than the standard printing options available on your device.

Connect Using Wi-Fi Direct

If you do not have access to a Wi-Fi network, many printers support Wi-Fi Direct.

This feature allows your phone to connect directly to the printer.

To use Wi-Fi Direct:

1. Enable Wi-Fi Direct on the printer.
2. Open Wi-Fi settings on your phone.
3. Connect to the printer's Wi-Fi Direct network.
4. Open the file you want to print.
5. Select the printer and start printing.

This method works well when travelling or printing in locations without internet access.

Troubleshooting Common Connection Problems

If your phone cannot find the printer, try the following:

• Restart your phone and printer.
• Ensure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
• Update your printer firmware.
• Update your phone's operating system.
• Reinstall the printer app.
• Move the printer closer to the Wi-Fi router.

These steps can resolve most wireless printing issues.

Enjoy Wireless Printing From Your Phone

Wireless printing makes it easier to print important documents, photos and files without relying on a computer. Once your phone and printer are connected, printing becomes a quick and convenient process.

Whether you use Android or iPhone, most modern wireless printers can be set up in just a few minutes, allowing you to print directly from your smartphone whenever you need to.

The Best Ways to Transfer Files From Phone to PC Without Cable

Moving files from a phone to a PC is something many people do regularly, whether it is transferring photos, videos, documents or other important files. While using a USB cable is one of the most common methods, there are several ways to transfer files without connecting your devices physically.

Wireless file transfer methods can be more convenient, especially when you do not have a cable available or want a faster way to share files between devices.

Use Bluetooth to Transfer Files

Bluetooth is one of the oldest wireless methods for transferring files between devices.

To transfer files using Bluetooth:

1. Turn on Bluetooth on both your phone and PC.
2. Pair the two devices.
3. Select the file you want to send on your phone.
4. Choose Share and select Bluetooth.
5. Accept the transfer on your PC.

Bluetooth works well for smaller files, but transferring large videos or many files may take longer.

Use Cloud Storage Services

Cloud storage is another easy way to move files from your phone to your PC.

Services such as Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox allow you to upload files from your phone and access them on your computer.

The process is simple:

1. Upload the file from your phone to cloud storage.
2. Open the same account on your PC.
3. Download the file.

This method is useful for keeping files backed up and accessing them from different devices.

Transfer Files Using Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi transfer is one of the fastest ways to send files between a phone and PC without a cable.

Some file-sharing apps allow both devices to connect through the same Wi-Fi network and transfer files quickly.

The steps usually involve:

1. Installing a file transfer app on your phone.
2. Connecting your phone and PC to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Opening the transfer page or app on your PC.
4. Selecting files to send.

Wi-Fi transfer is usually faster than Bluetooth, especially for large files.

Use Quick Share on Android

Android users can transfer files wirelessly using Quick Share.

To use it:

1. Turn on Quick Share on your Android phone.
2. Enable it on your PC if supported.
3. Select the files you want to send.
4. Choose your PC from the available devices.
5. Accept the transfer.

Quick Share makes it easier to send photos, videos and documents without additional cables.

Use Messaging Apps

For smaller files, messaging platforms can also help transfer documents and images.

You can send files to yourself through apps such as Telegram or other platforms that support file sharing, then open the same account on your PC.

However, this method may not be ideal for very large files because of storage or file-size limits.

Use Email for Small Files

Email remains a simple option for transferring smaller documents.

You can attach a file to an email from your phone and open the message on your PC to download it.

This works best for:

• Documents
• PDFs
• Small images
• Short files

It is not recommended for large videos or multiple large files.

Choose the Best Transfer Method

The best way to transfer files from phone to PC without a cable depends on the size and type of files you want to move.

For small files, Bluetooth and email may be enough. For large videos and many files, Wi-Fi transfer, Quick Share or cloud storage may provide a faster and more convenient solution.

Wireless file transfer gives users more flexibility by allowing them to move important files without searching for a cable. With the right method, transferring photos, videos and documents between your phone and PC can be simple and efficient.

What You Should Really Consider When Getting a PC

When getting a new PC, do not get too excited or engrossed on the Processor series of that PC, for instance Intel Core i5, intel Core i7 etc.

Most users will like to go for the processor series with highest number attached to the core as long as they can afford it, not knowing there are other significant details you need to look out for first.

We all know Intel's Core i7 or Core i9 processors are excellent for gaming and demanding tasks, while Core i5 or Core i3 processors are more budget-friendly for everyday use.

An average computer user will always go for core i7 over core i5 without having to check for other specifics attached to corei7/core i5, other specifics such as the Generation of the processor and the clock speed.

The Generation of the processor plays a very important role in the selection of a PC. 

How do we identify the generation of an Intel core from just it's name?

For instance, Intel Core i5 is not actually the complete name of the processor, there are other numbers attached to it, which you can see when you look it up on the information page of the processor in your PC.

You should see something like "Intel Core i5-11600K" or "Intel Core i5-8600K".  

The first digit or digits in the model number indicates the generation of that processor. Using the two core i5 above as example, the "11" represents the 11th Generation, while the "8" in the other core i5 represents the 8th generation.

The latter the generation, the better the processor. This means instead of going for a "Core i5-8700k" which is an 8th Gen Processor, you should go for a "Core i3-10600X" which is a 10th Gen Processor.

I hope you take this knowledge into consideration when getting your next PC.

150+ Best Windows CMD Commands You Need To Know

 150+ Best Windows CMD Commands You Need To Know

What is CMD?

CMD is an acronym for Command. Command prompt or CMD is the command line interpreter of Windows operating systems. It is similar to Command.com used in DOS and Windows 9x systems where it is called as “MS-DOS Prompt”. It is analogous to Unix Shells used on Unix like system. The command prompt is a native application of the Windows operating system and gives the user an option to perform operations using commands.

Command prompt makes use of the command line interface to interact with the User. In the Windows operating system, this command prompt interface is implemented through the Win32 console. User can open the interface by via the CMD run command or by going to its original location C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe.

How Does CMD Works?

With the command shell, you can have direct interaction with the operating system. Think command prompt as an interpreter which accepts the commands or the inputs from the User and translate it into machine language. These commands are predefined and perform a specific task. These commands can be clubbed together as well to perform a series of task. Also, these commands need not be entered manually and can be written in a batch file to automate some of the manual tasks like taking a scheduled server backup, deleting junk files and so on. These commands are very handy at the time of network troubleshooting or for a day to day work. These commands can be called from many programming languages such as Java which allows the programmer to perform task directly via the command prompt which otherwise would take several lines of code to be written essentially to perform the same task.

How To Use CMD Commands?

To Open CMD, you need to search for CMD in the Search box or you can simply press Windows Key + R that will eventually open the Run window, where you need to type CMD and hit enter. Below are list of very useful CMD Commands for your windows system.

How To Remove Write Protection From SD Card

 How To Remove Write Protection From SD Card

Have you ever encountered write Protection warning that that pops up when you insert an SD card into devices such as computer, digital camera,etc, and could not find a solution to it?

In this post you will find out:

•  why you cannot format the write-protected SD card
•  methods on how to remove protection from a memory card
•  how Disk Internals software can help you

What does it mean, if an SD card is write protected?

This may happen every time: you insert an SD card to the adapter in your computer/laptop, digital camera, etc and you can view and read all the files located on it, but this is all that you can do with this SD card.

You will find it impossible to add anything, and you cannot format a write-protected card. Below are the possible reasons and solutions to why an SD Card is write protected.

Reasons and Solutions:

1. SD card is write-protected for physical reasons

SD card is write protected because of switcher

Here, the switch that protects the SD card from being overwritten is active.

To fix it, disable the lock. On each SD card on one side, there is a switch, which needs to be shifted in the opposite direction and then the SD card can be reconnected to the computer.

Did this method for removing write protection from an SD card not help you? No worries since there are many other solutions to the situation.

2. SD card write-protected due to software

This situation may occur due to read-only attributes.

To fix it, delete them using the command line.

Press Win + X at the same time; you will see a cmd window where you need to type "diskpart" on the keyboard and confirm pressing Enter.

Then enter the command "list disk" and press Enter.

Disks connected to the system will appear in a new window. Select your SD card (you can find it by the appropriate disk size; for example, drive 0).

ALSO READ: How To Recover Forgotten Memory Card Password

Next, in command Prompt, type: "select disk 0", then press Enter.

Next, enter the attributes. "disk clear read-only command" and press Enter.

These actions will remove the attributes and remove write protection from your micro SD card.

4. Write protection is gone but so is the data

This is due to improper use of the diskpart utility. (Sometimes instead of removing the write protection, users format their SD cards). And, as you know, due to the formatting, all data is lost.

To fix it, use DiskInternals Partition Recovery. This application recreates the file system on the SD card, so the files can be found and restored. It recovers any file: photos, music, videos, documents, etc. You can also not worry about large files: the application can handle even them. It has been designed to satisfy user's needs without fail:

There are three recovery wizards that will explain everything to you step by step, depending on your file system: Partition Recovery Wizard, NTFS Recovery Wizard, and FAT Recovery Wizard.

There are several scan modes (fast, full).

There is a free file preview for assurance.

There is a trial version at no cost; you only need to pay if you want to save the recovered files to any disk visible to the system and with unshakable technical support.
