  1. Cursor constantly drifting


    My cursor will constantly drift to the right side of the screen to no specific spot, just drifts directly to the right. This occurred a few days ago but I was able to fix it with a simple restart, but now I've tried restarting a few times and the cursor still won't stop drifting. I even uninstalled all pointer drivers in Device Manager to no avail. I know this isn't a problem with my mouse because the drifting still occurs when I unplug the mouse, and this also isn't the trackpad's fault as the drifting suddenly stops whenever I open a "system app" or whatever it's called e.g., Task Manger,

    Drifting cursor


    Could anybody help with a drifting cursor problem that is making working on my Sony Vaio laptop very frustrating and time consuming; the cursor has a mind of his own, it tends to move in any direction at random and if I am in Explorer, at times, it transfers files from one location to another;

    This problem seemed to happen a few week after I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10; Everything else appears to work very satisfactorily;

    Any suggestion would be appreciated;

    Cursor Drift


    Does anyone else have excessive cursor drift after installing W10?

    I am using a laptop with a touchpad, but I find the cursor always wants to drift upwards.
    Have tried many online so called "Cures" but so far nothing has worked.
    It's at it's worst when I am playing solitaire or doing the jigsaw puzzles (Don't judge) *Biggrin*Biggrin*Biggrin*Biggrin
