Mouse quits?
Each time I shut down the laptop, and start it -- the wireless mouse quits working. I remove the mouse "whatchamacallit" from the USB port, plug it back in, and mouse works again. Any hints why ...

Check the battery in the mouse.
That would be my first thought too.. and I've done it many tims
however the person who said the rodent is dying may be right too
But I'd check batteries first (So far that's all I have done,< Check Batteries.. Swap 'em for the pair in the charger,, And continue to use mouse normally for another long period of time)
In normal use my mouse is transmitting, Receiving and LED-ing
When it no longer hears the computer dongle.. Then some mice go into standby.. This greatly lowers power consumption and th battery recovers.. Then you plug dongle back in and it has a bit more power for a few more minutes... So it works, till they hit cutoff again.
Uninstall mouse driver and then reinstall mouse driver.
