Windows 10: Keyboard and mouse lags

This is not a new problem. Searching finds plenty of posts about it but most that I have found relate to earlier versions of Windows. I am using the latest version of Windows 10 on a high powered machine form Chillblast.

Problem - Mouse movements inconsistent - can be erratic. Keyboard entry can be going along fine and then there is a pause of several seconds before screen displays the last few characters typed. The problem is worse in the evenings so I suspected either a heat issue or something which has been loaded during the course of the day.
The trouble with these theories is that switching off for a while, then back on, doesn't always solve the problem, though it can help a bit. In short, this is one of those intermittent problems which seem to be a nightmare to solve!

Tried - with no effect on problem -
Chillblast (UK firm that supplied PC) have remotely looked at the machine and can't find any issues in logs, or anywhere else.
I have monitored performance with task Manager and other apps but can't see anything in particular.
Memory tests OK.
CPU test all OK
Tried a wired keyboard and mouse and problem persisted.
Have re-installed/updated drivers - Bluetooth, Nvidia, and other drivers.
I did a repair of Office 365.
Ran SFC

I have noted in Task Manager that there are around about 200 or so processes running. Same for Services.
Yet during the time I have been typing this there have been no issues - it's morning and I have only used Google and Outlook so far.

I have now reached the stage of considering, without any good logic behind doing so, a clean re-install of WIndows.

Before I do that, has anyone any suggestions? Are the number of processes/services running normal?

Mouse Lag

Hi,

Mouse lag and touchpad issues may occur due to damaged cables, outdated drivers, and more. To rectify those concerns, we suggest that you refer to this

article where you'll find troubleshooting steps suitable for mouse, touchpad, and keyboard issues.

If you're going to update your driver, we suggest that you do it manually instead of letting Windows search for an updated driver automatically. Here's how you can do it:

• Visit your device manufacturer’s website and download the latest driver from there.
• Right-click on the Start button, then select Device Manager.
• Select Mice and other pointing device, then the mouse
  driver name.
• Right-click on driver and then select Uninstall device >Delete the driver software for this device check box >
  Uninstall.
• After uninstalling, right-click on the driver that's having the issue, select
  Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software.
• Select Browse > look for the driver you've just downloaded >
  OK.
• Select Next > follow the steps to install the driver >
  Close.
• Restart your computer.

Update us on the status of the issue.

 

Mouse Lag!?!

Basically what it does is remove the mouse acceleration in XP. The mouse will feel slower at first, but eventually you'll get used to it... the only reason why I suggested the mouse fix was because mouse acceleration sometimes causes the sensation of having a laggy mouse (laggy meaning responding slowly). If you meant lag as in jumping around and generally not being responsive, then I guess you'll need to wait for more suggestions *Smile

 

Windows 10 Anniversary Update - Mouse and keyboard lag

My USB Wireless Dell keyboard and mouse is still lagging and I've tried lots of Windows 10 Anniversary Update suggested fixes.

The laptop is very responsive when I first boot up but as time goes on and I load up different applications I get lots of small 5 second freezes and lots of lag.

There is a lot of the lag after pressing the start button. Mouse keyboard and video fail to work smoothly when I press the start button
