Windows 10: cursor randomly jumps around screen

Hi.

I am running Windows 10 subscription. I have a Logitech MX Master 3 mouse. Over the last week or so my cursor started jumping around on my screen. At first it constantly seemed to jump to the left bottom corner. I thought it was the mouse and went through all sorts of troubleshooting exercises to correct the problem - I reloaded drivers, shut the system down and restarted, unpaired the mouse and re-paired it, tried to see if it worked on the cord as opposed to wirelessly, disconnected Bluetooth to see if there was interference there. Nothing worked. I ran my antivirus software and did a computer scan and nothing out of the ordinary showed up. It was really messing with my productivity as I never really knew where my mouse was going to be on the screen. and it was jumping around every 5 to 20 seconds. Then I came up with the bright idea to switch out my mouse for the MS surface mouse for my laptop. I disconnected the Logitech mouse and paired the surface mouse and the same problem was there with the other mouse. So, I assumed, it's not the mouse. I did a little research and saw a recommendation to do a windows update. So I did that. It seemed to fix the problem as I wasn't seeing the cursor jumping around. Alas, several hours later I noticed that my cursor once again was not where I expected it to be. Because I've tried two completely different mice from different manufacturers and am having the same problem, I guessing this could be an OS issue. Hoping someone can come to my rescue and help me get this issue resolved! It's really frustrating to try and work with a cursor that keeps jumping around on the screen!

Thanks,

Mark

Cursor jumps around randomly

Please can someone help. I have a Dell Laptop with a Touchpad. Since a recent Windows 10 Update, I have experienced the cursor randomly jumping around the screen opening up documents randomly and it is driving me mad! I have tried going into Mouse Additional
Settings to the Pointer Options Tab and "unticking" the Hide Pointer while Typing option as I have read this could do the trick however it has not. Please please can someone help! Many thanks!
