The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 may hang if it is run with an older Logitech mouse driver (versions 5.0 and earlier). This problem will occur when you are task switching from an MS-DOS box back to Windows.

The Logitech mouse driver that ships with Windows 3.1 should be used. You can install it by running Setup from Windows or from the MS-DOS prompt.
