Try this in order:

  1. Disconnect the ASUS mouse and any USB receiver, wait a few seconds, then reconnect it directly to a different USB port.
    • If a USB hub is being used, remove it and connect the device directly to the PC.
    • If the mouse is battery-powered, make sure it is charged.
  2. Check whether the device is actually still being detected by Windows.
    • Connect the mouse to another PC if possible.
    • If it does not work there either, the device may need replacement.
  3. Update the device driver through Windows Update.
    • In the taskbar search box, type check for updates.
    • Select Check for updates.
    • Under Windows Update, select Check for updates again and install anything offered.
  4. Update or reinstall the driver in Device Manager.
    • In the taskbar search box, type device manager and open Device Manager.
    • Find the affected device category and double-click the device name.
    • Open the Driver tab.
    • Select Update Driver and follow the prompts.
  5. If this device is appearing under Bluetooth or was installed as part of a wireless pairing path, use the Bluetooth recovery steps.
    • Open Device Manager.
    • Expand Bluetooth.
    • Press and hold or right-click the Bluetooth adapter, then select Uninstall device.
    • Shut down the PC, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
    • If Windows does not reinstall the adapter automatically, open Device Manager and select Action > Scan for hardware changes.
  6. If the device still reappears after removal, check for mouse or keyboard companion software installed with the device and remove it, then restart and test again.

Because uninstalling is already causing a BSOD, avoid repeated forced removals until the driver and Bluetooth adapter path have been refreshed first.
