    Is is a Synaptics device?

    If so, you have to remove ALL drivers and software which will normally be found in Programs and Features and reinstall a totally fresh driver from Synaptics.

    If that also wont install then there is something somewhere else going on.

    HP Notebook-17-P161DX - Windows 10 - When entering text in an email, in an online crossword, or using wordpad to compose a letter, the cursor will automatically at some point, move backwards without warning, causing over typing previously entered text. I am carefull not to have my hand near the touchpad, and even had it disabled, but the cursor still moves backward. I have a USB mouse attached.

    :)

  3. Cursor Jumping Around

    I cannot control the cursor -- it sometimes jumps backwards, forward and to other typed lines. What can I do to control the cursor?

  4. Cursor moves backwards

    How do I move the cursor back to a previous point when I'm typing an email / text message?

    When typing an emal / text message, if I want to move back to a previous word in order to add to / correct it, it selects the entire word. How do I move the cursor position without selecting a word. Perhaps the keypad just needs forward / backward buttons
    to give a use fine control over the cursor position?

  5. Sounds like a synaptics touch pad pointing device, drivers are probably mega old.

    Worth updating the drivers? Check first to see the make as may not be synaptics but does sound like the classic over sensitive touch pad.

    You so much as look at the touch pad and it starts to move lol
