Windows 10: Curser randomly clicks on its own

This problem started up a few days ago and I don't know why. I've done a lot of searching and haven't found anyone with the same problem as me. They might be similar but don't help any. It does it about every 8 seconds give or take a few.

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my curser will randomly move to the left

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my curser will randomly move to the left. The left arrow won't respond on the keyboard. I have to use the touch screen to input data as a result . I have a Lenovo Yoga 3. I have started the computer in safe mode and all
works fine then. Any suggestions?

Hi Bonnie,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your devices. Refer these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
  
• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to
  Large icons.
  
• 
  Click on troubleshooting and click on the
  view all option on the left panel.
  
• 
  Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
  

To fix the issue with cursor, try the following method.

Method 2: I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the mouse driver from device manager and check.

• Press Windows and X keys together
• Click on Device Manager.
  
• Select Mice and other pointing devices from the list.
• Uninstall by right clicking on the driver.
• Restart the system, the driver will be automatically installed.
  

Hope this helps. Keep us updated with the status of the issue to continue assisting you further.

Thank you.

Hi KathZ,

Could you please help me with the below questions:

This issue happens, if there is mouse/hardware issue or it can be settings issue. I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps as mentioned below:

   Click on Apply and Ok.
   

Method 2: Change the Mouse settings.

1. Click on the Settings icon from the start menu.
   
2. Click on Devices > Click on Mouse from the left panel of the window.
3. Click on Additional Mouse Options from the right pane.
   
4. This will open the Mouse Properties window, go to Buttons tab.
   
5. Under the Double click speed, drag the slider to the left to slow down the double click speed.
   
6. Next, go to Pointer options tab, uncheck the "Enhance Pointer Precision" to
   disable pointer precision to slow down the mouse.
