Summary	08213: replugged USB mouse not recognized (by games)
Description	In Win10 (an older version) when the USB mouse is unplugged during game, after replugging it is not recognized anymore until MAME is completely terminated. This can get annoying when the player in mid of a game tries to plugin a different mouse or trackball that is better suited for gaming, or accidentally unplugged it. Strange is that after exiting the game, the main menu will still see the mouse , but any started games (same or others) will not see the mouse until MAME is fully exitted. I discovered this bug by a bad mouse cable (broken USB data lines) that unplugged and replugged the mouse randomly during strong movement in the "Marble Madness" arcade version.
Steps To Reproduce	Unplug and replug an USB mouse during a game. No games will see the mouse anymore as a controller (although GUI works fine) until you terminate MAME.

If you really need to be able to re-plug your mouse and/or keyboard while running MAME, use "-mouseprovider win32" and/or "-keyboardprovider win32". Closing as this is expected behaviour for the current implementation.
