Windows 10: Cursor moved by the directional arrows.

Hello,

I've been having a problem for a few days now, when I press my directional arrows on the keyboard, it moves my cursor.

Anyone know how not to get that?

Text cursor moving in different directions

Hi,

I'm using Windows 10 on a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-23F laptop.

Starting from yesterday, there has been odd behaviours with my text cursor, and when I try to click on anything. Some behaviour I've noticed:

-My text cursor would keep moving left or right when I try to type.

- If I open up file explorer and click on a file, then it looks like I'm scrolling up or down even when I don't move my mouse or click any arrow keys.

- On the desktop screen, If I click on a file/folder then the selection moves left/right /up/down.

I find that this behaviour looks like the arrow keys are being pressed constantly. The direction that the cursor/selection moves in can change, but it tends to move in the same direction for at least a few minutes at a time before switching to a different
direction.

Things I've tried:

-Uninstalling the keyboard drivers (both the PS/2 and the HID one)

-scanning for viruses

-uninstalling mouse drivers (both the synaptic touchpad and the HID ones)

So far nothing has helped.

I do use a USB keyboard and mouse, but this problem occurs even when those devices are not connected.

I have no idea if it's a software or hardware issue as I've recently updated Windows 10(I did this two days ago) and I've also spilt tea on my keyboards four days ago(on the USB keyboard as well as the laptop's built in keyboard- the USB keyboard still works
fine but some keys of the built in keyboard no longer works).

Thanks in Advance,

The cursor changes the shape from the arrow to a circle with an up arrow and an arrow down

When I have opened a program like Edge on my Windows 10 PC, the cursor changes form from an arrow to a circle with an up arrow and an arrow down.
This new symbol can not activate anything by moving it around with the mouse.
To close the open program, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to get to the job list.
At the same time, the circle symbol turns into the well-known arrow, and I can continue the work normally.

How do I avoid the annoying circle icon?

Cursor moves when pressing direction keys

I am working on a Lenovo ideapad 330, with the latest windows 10 (1903). When I press the regular direction keys on my keyboard, my cursor moves in the direction I am pressing. I would like my cursor not to move when I press the direction keys. How can
I stop this behavior?

Thank you,
