    Erratic behavior, especially the cursor


    I have an older Toshiba Satellite Laptop. It has Windows 10 Home. Intel core i5-4210U, 6 GB RAM, 750GB HD. Internet is via Wi-Fi.


    About 2 weeks ago, half of the key board stopped working... I have a mini keyboard so I plugged that it and was able to use. A few days ago, crazy stuff started happening with the cursor. I immediately thought some kind of virus so I ran every piece of malware remove software I could find... nothing significant found.


    What I would see.... if I double clicked on a desktop icon, the icon all the way to the right on that line would open. If I try to watch a video, I could open the viewer but once I hit play the video runs in super fast speed all the way to the end, no stopping it. If I open a web page and click any where on that document, the cursor scrolls all the way to the end. If I open a folder with several files, doesn't matter which one I click on, the cursor goes to the last one.


    I removed all the important stuff and did a complete reset of the laptop. I added all my usual stuff including google Chrome. Almost immediately, I had the same problem. I've spent many hours troubleshooting via guides found via google. I have changed the mouse, changed the battery, turned off the touchpad, removed/reinstalled the mouse software, updated all drivers... everything someone thought I should try, I tried it. I still had the same problem.


    Today I did a full reset again, this time I didn't add anything. Only thing on this laptop now if the stuff you get when you reinstall windows 10. I did run the windows update,. I opened a desktop Text document, typed in about 50 characters.... same problem. Click on any one characters, cursor flies to the right. Opened the supplied Microsoft browser.... same problem as before.


    I need help, where do I go next?

    :)

    WINDOWS 10 ERRATIC BEHAVIOR

    There is no such utility, and if you're looking for help from your fellow Windows users you'll need to be a whole lot more specific than 'erratic behavior.'

    Surface Pro 3 - Erratic cursor and window behaviour

    I experience intermittent erratic cursor behaviour on my Surface Pro 3. Any open windows also reduce in size and expand again. I keep the computer updated and have switched locations to avoid any external interference.

    I've read various reports on Touchscreen drives and updates etc but nothing seems to cure this erratic behaviour. Any suggestions?
