    Keyboard & mouse mapping briefly screwed up after cleaning computer.


    I had shut down my PC to clean inside the tower with compressed air & after I was finished & booted up again, my mouse & keyboards commands had changed. ESC was opening Windows start menu, my mouse wheel was zooming instead of vertical scrolling, my custom mouse settings were gone, etc.

    I tried rebooting & the problem seems to be fixed, but I want to know what caused that to begin with & should I worry about any lurking problems that may show up again?

    Mouse & keyboard are wireless Logitech M705 & K270.

    There is no explanation to it.
    Remember that, even if the computer is off, the MB is on.
    Did you take the power cord from the wall before cleaning it?

    I shut down & unplugged the PC before cleaning. I'm guessing the cleaning had nothing to do with it, but I still don't understand what caused that brief issue otherwise.
