    Cursor erratic and impossible to control

    I've recently upgraded to Windows 10 on my Lenovo laptop. Since then, the cursor has become increasingly erratic and jumps about to the point that I literally cannot do anything, regardless of whether I use the mouse or the touchpad. I've managed to close
    it down to restart it ( - took the best part of an hour to achieve that!) but nothing's changed. Damn this upgrade. Wish I'd never agreed to it. Please help!

    mouse cursor erratic and impossible to control

    Mouse is erratic at upper left corner

    The cursor/mouse is erratic and out of control flashing in the upper left corner, opening/closing, selecting files that might be in that corner. Makes its impossible to use. I'm running Windows 10 on a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. The only temporary fix is
    if i shrink down the screen resolution to 1024x768 which is no acceptable to work on such a small screen version. How do i fix this so it doesn't become erratic so i can restore my back the recommended resolution size?
