To resolve this issue, with your wireless receiver plugged in (this is
important, or the update won't be offered), check for updates. To do this,
go to Control Panel (Classic View) > Windows Update > Check for Updates.
Install the Optional Hardware Update that is named Microsoft HID Non-User
Input Data Filter.
