Windows 10 Mouse not responding after sleep

I recently bought a new Windows 10 box which is a laptop. For whatever reason, when my laptop goes to sleep and then I wake it back up, my exteal USB mouse no longer works and the only way for me to navigate is either to use the trackpad OR unplug the mouse and plug it back in... The latter is a pain because the USB already fits kind of snug and it creates unnecessary wear on the port.

Things I've tried:

Went to Control Panel - Edit Power Plan -> Advanced -> USB -> Disabled "selective suspend" for USB ports... Problem still persists. I also made sure that the setting for "allow pointing device to wake computer" was enabled and it was.

The thing that's bizarre is that the computer actually does recognize the fact that the mouse is still plugged in when it wakes up because when I checked the option to "disable the trackpad when exteal pointing device is connected", the trackpad immediately became disabled, even when the mouse wasn't working due to the computer having just woken up. Also, the USB driver recognizes the fact that it's plugged in...

I'm stumped.
