    Cursor started moving on it's own


    Hello,My friend tried to download from sketchy website. It was a zip file, however never opened it, deleted right away. But 10 minutes later, cursor started moving on it's own, it wasn't like jumping/glitching, but it seemed like a human controlled smooth movement but it was just going upwards. Felt like Teamviewer, if I move my own mouse I take over, but it kept moving upwards interrupting my cursor. I went to start and tried to shutdown pc, but couldn't because mouse kept going upwards. I forced shutdown laptop with button. After powering on it never happened again. Checked for suspicious pr

    cursor dissappeared

    Thank you both for your prompt replies, I tried all steps listed, some I had tries previously but I still tried them again, but still no cursor.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    CURSOR MOVES ON ITS OWN

    I am so frustrated. Suddenly my cursor moves around the page on its own! while typing a letter or email, should I stop to check on something relative to my work and start typing again, only to find the cursor is in a totally different area than where
    I left off!! IT JUST HAPPENED WHILE TYPING THIS QUESTION 3 TIMES!! SOS!! PLEASE HELP!! Have I touched a key that told the cursor to move wherever?? I am not computer illiterate but no 'guru' for sure!! Any suggestions/comments will be so very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Cursor started moving on it's own

    Mouse Cursor Moving Spontaneously

    Hey All,

    I have an MSI GE72 2QD Apache Pro laptop with Windows 10 64-Bit OS. I use a wireless Logitech M510 mouse.

    My problem is that my mouse cursor will move spontaneously at different times and start randomly clicking on things. Super annoying.

    Things I have done to try to revert the issue:

    • Made sure my drivers for both the touchpad and wireless mouse were fully updated.
    • Rolled-back the drivers to see if that would fix the problem.
    • Completely uninstalled the drivers and then reinstalled them.
    • Disabled the touchpad, which does work, but I don't want to keep it this way.
    Since disabling the touchpad is the only thing that seems to work, I am thinking it has something to do with that.

    Any suggestions or tips that might resolve this issue?

    Thanks in advance.
