Windows 10: How to fix mouse cursor that keeps dragging itself back to the top right corner of the screen?

When I opened my laptop today, the mouse is suddenly stuck on the top right corner of the screen. The mouse and trackpad is working properly, but the cursor just keep dragging itself back to the top right corner. I have tried updating and reinstalling the mouse driver, restarting multiple times, and checking my mouse settings. But it still couldn't work. How do I fix this?

Cursor Randomely Jumps to Top Right Corner and Clicks

I've recently had this really annoying problem where my cursor randomly moves to the top right corner of the screen (where the X on most programs are) and clicks, exiting whatever I'm in. This happens when I'm not touching my mouse, when I'm not touching
my touchpad, and even when I'm not even near my laptop. The cursor jumps to the top right corner and clicks. I'm pretty sure that this is not a mouse or touchpad problem. How do I fix this issue?

 

Mouse Cursor Shoots to top left corner of screen

Have you checked any of the Related Content that your thread has found for you? This seems to be common problem for Dell users.

Actually I was curious if any of several similar incidents that I contributed to would show up that way. Maybe they were too old. Usually I would mention Mousekeys as a workaround... Here's one:

Try to find a less disruptive workaround. If it seems as if the pointer is being dragged away from you as you move it I think Mousekeys could help. Press LeftAlt+LeftShift+NumLock and hold until you see a prompt to start it.



Good luck
