Windows 10: Holding down Alt, Ctrl, or Windows key makes mouse jiggle around randomly

This was a hard one to just Google the answer to, because apparently there is a setting whereby users whowant to move the mouse with the keyboard, can. This is NOT that issue.

the issue I am having is that when I hold down however briefly the Windows or either Ctrl or either Alt key, it causes my mouse to immediately start jiggling and wiggling around randomly quite a bit - and apparently it even starts clicking stuff if I leave it alone long enough. Given that I use Alt+Tab all the time, this is a major problem.

I figured it was a problem with the keyboard and mouse and was about to buy a new one, when I realized that this issue is completely absent on a different computer.
Anyone ever experienced this bizarre problem?

ctrl alt del to logon

Hi Diane,

Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the
Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key + R.
• Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
• Click Apply.
• Restart your computer.
• Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the
  steps 5 and 6.

Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.

 

Windows key hold after alt-tabbing

Which build? I once saw it appear as if there was a way to lock the Alt- key, which then makes the Alt-Tab display work like the Win-Tab Task View in that it stays up without having to hold on to the modifier while you use it with cursor keys. To make
it work I needed to use the right-Ctrl. In fact, it still works that way provided I press the Ctrl- key first. YMMV. 17134.286

Windows 10. Still an Adventure ("Twisty passages, all different.")
