SpaceMouse loses navigation after Windows sleep even though it's still detected
I've been running into a frustrating issue on Windows 11 with my SpaceMouse where everything works perfectly after a fresh boot, but after the PC wakes from sleep, the device is basically unusable inside CAD applications. Windows still detects it, the LEDs are on, and the 3Dconnexion software shows it as connected, yet the cap won't pan, rotate, or zoom in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks. Oddly enough, some programmable buttons still work, which makes me think the connection isn't completely lost. Replugging the receiver, reconnecting the device, and even switching to a wired connection doesn't help. The only thing that restores normal operation is restarting the 3DxWare services or rebooting the PC. Has anyone found a permanent fix for this on Windows, or is there a specific power management setting that I may have missed?
