Windows 10: Erratic mouse movements

Since I carried out a clean re-installation, my mouse, a MS Wireless Mouse 5000, has displayed intermittent erratic and jerky movements. Sometimes it is OK, other times it can move in such coarse jerky movements that it is unusable. My Wacom pen on the other hand is smooth. I have tried disabling One Drive thinking it was a conflict of CPU time but that doesn't help. A different mmouse exhibits same problem, New batteries don't help. Googling for answers finds plenty of references to the issue (mostly dating back 2 - 3 years) but no solution.
Any current views on the issue?

Erratic mouse movement

Hello,

Since you have already done most of the basic software-related troubleshooting steps, let's try a different approach. Can you try using an external mouse on your device and see if the issue persists? Please let us know how it goes so we could provide further
assistance.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

Erratic mouse movement

I've had an Asus T100 for about 2 years now, and the mouse has started to randomly move to a random place, usually the edge of the screen. I've made sure that the trackpad is clean and that im not touching it, but it still moves randomly. i've tried updating
the drivers and scanning my pc for issues, but the problem still persists. I have the default ''ASUS touchpad''.

 

Here is a list of solutions you should try:

How to fix mouse lags in Windows 10 (and make it fast again)

Let me know if any of the solutions helped with the stuttering.

UPDATE: Just to be on the safe side, also go to your BIOS and enable Legacy USB support.

 

Thanks. Seems to be working so far, but then I did say "intermittent problem"!

 

I know the feeling. USB mouse issues on Windows has been there as far as I can remember. Stuttering come and go for no particular reason.

 

If the stuttering is audio driver related then look for an audio driver that support ASIO. If you can't find such driver then install ASIO4ALL driver

 

I've only noticed the issue with navigating around the screen in various programs - text based or graphics - which is my main use. I don't bother much with audio on the PC. Old fashioned HiFi.

 

Though you don't use audio that much, issue could still be audio related. I see you have a quadro card. Try disabling nvidia HD Audio in device manager.

 

Had a look in the nVidia control panel but can't see any HDMI setting. Interestingly, while typing this, mouse is behaving. Moving the focus over to the nVidia CP it starts misbehaving!

 

What's the penalty fo mouseslaughter?

 

Sry, re read my post. I was editing it because I typed wrong information.

 

Thanks - done that. Now lets's see how it goes. Mouse has a stay of execution of 48 hours!

 

Give it some time, and report back in a few days with the results. (even if we solved the issue) *Smile

 

Tried everything without result. Tried another mouse and had same problem. However both were geriatric mice, so retired the pair of them and bough a new one. Problem solved!
