    Cursor takes a while to start moving. Not sure why.


    So, I just got a new laptop, the new Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, and I have noticed something that I had also experienced on an older laptop, some old HP laptop, that I was using years ago. Whenever I go to move the cursor, after not using it for a few seconds, with either the track pad or the Bluetooth mouse that I have, it takes a few seconds of moving the mouse around or moving my finger around on the track pad for the cursor to start moving. for the most part it doesn't bother me, but when I, say go to search something on Google, and I can't immediately move the cursor and click on the search result, it gets annoying. Before I got this laptop, I was using the previous gen Dell XPS 13, not the 2-in-1, and I did not have this issue whatsoever and I immediately would get cursor movement when I used both the track pad and the same mouse. I'm not sure if this is something as simple as a setting I can change within Windows, or if there is something wrong with the laptop itself. Thanks for the help.

    :)

    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.

    Why can't i click while moving my cursor around?

    I was recently playing a game and there was something wrong with my touchpad. For some reason, I couldn't click while moving my cursor, this is really annoying when playing a game. Can anyone help understand why this is happening?
