    Mouse makes computer lag/Freeze

    So i recently upgraded my laptop that i haven't used in a while to windows 10. Then i plugged in a mouse and when i moved it, it made my computer lag/freeze. If i watched a video on chrome then if i move my mouse it would lag or freeze. If i tried to play
    a game and moved my mouse it would lag/freeze. I tried using a different mouse and i also tried to change the port nothing would work. I also made sure i was on the latest drivers which i was. The problem is that whenever i move my mouse whatever im doing
    would lag/freeze. If i use the trackpad on the laptop it wouldn't lag or freeze. Ive tried many ways to fix none have worked. Ive tried to reinstall windows which didnt work. I also tried to fresh start it which didnt work. I also did a bunch of commands which
    didnt work.

    My laptop is a HP 15 Notebook PC

    Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2840 @ 2.16GHz 2.16GHz

    Ram: 4.00 GB

    64 bit operating system

    Windows 10 Home

    Version: 1909
