Windows 10: Mouse ghost scrolling

I have an Asus Desktop PC running Windows 10. The screen keeps randomly jerking up and down, as if I'm scrolling with the mouse wheel. It seems worse in Edge and Chrome. It happens when I enter the BIOS setting screen. It started a few days ago. I have tried multiple mice, some corded, some wireless. I've tried various USB ports. I tried using a USB to PS/2 adaptor. Nothing helped. Everything else in the PC seems to work OK. It's almost completely stable as I'm typing this.


I have set the mouse to scroll one screen at a time. It does in some apps, but in others it scrolls one line at a time. When the screen jumps, it's usually multiple lines.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

How do I change scroll direction of a mouse NOT listed under Mice?

Thanks; yes, those are great directions and did work to change the direction of the wired mouse that came with the computer. But the mouse I'm using doesn't show up as a mouse in the hardware list, so I can't follow the rest of those steps. I need the mouse to appear on the list of mice in order to complete this sequence.

 

Mouse Scroll Jumps

Hello Nate,

It is possible that the Vertical Scrolling is set to a higher numeric value. To assist you with your concern I would suggest checking the Vertical Scrolling to isolate the issue. Just follow these steps to isolate the issue.

• Press the Windows key and go to Settings.
• Click Devices and go to Mouse.
• Click on Additional mouse options.
• Click on the Wheel tab.
• Put a bullet on Roll the wheel one notch to scroll and change the numeric value to 2 or 3 (Depending on your preference.)
• Click Apply, then OK.

Check if this will resolve the issue.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
