every time i press escape the mouse controls disconnect

when i press escape and i go to pause menu, my mouse disconnects and i cant click anything or make my characters head move as it would in play screen at start. i have to either restart my game, or i have to swipe up to get the app bar and press on screen with hand, and do it again, and press button with my hands. then i need to move around with my hand and then my mouse for it to work again… PLS FIX
