Fix 3: Make sure you’re using the latest device drivers

The Logitech Options not working issue could indicate that you’re using a faulty or outdated mouse or USB driver. In the worst case, this could mean that some critical drivers are missing in your computer. When troubleshooting device issues, checking & updating your device drivers could save you a lot of trouble.

You can do this manually, if you like, by visiting each manufacturer’s download page, finding the right drivers, etc. But that takes time and computer skills. If you’re not comfortable playing with device drivers, we recommend using Driver Easy. It’s a tool that detects, downloads and installs any driver updates your computer needs.

1. Download and install Driver Easy.
2. Run Driver Easy, then click Scan Now. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
   
3. Click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system.
   (This requires the Pro version – you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All. If you don’t want to pay for the Pro version, you can still download and install all the drivers you need with the free version; you just have to download them one at a time, and manually install them, the normal Windows way.)
   

Once you’ve installed/updated device drivers, restart your computer and check if Logitech Options is working correctly.

If the solution doesn’t work for you, simply move on to the next one below.
