Windows 10: mouse moving slowly and automatically after I click the the app icon in the taskbar to try...

This happens a week ago. The problem is: whenever I move my mouse into the taskbar, it gets locked and slowly move through all minimized app icons and then slowly moving across the window. During this process, I have no control of the laptop. I can still switch windows by using alt+tab but not mouse anymore. Any suggestions? I'm using window 10 pro insider build version.

Moving the taskbar

Hi Kim,

You can customize your taskbar to pin your favorite apps to it, move it to where you want to display on your screen, and specify how taskbar buttons group together when you have more than one window open. To address your question, we suggest
that you follow these steps on how to move your taskbar to a different location on the screen:

• Open Settings and choose Personalization.
• Select Taskbar.
• Under Taskbar location on the screen, click the drop-down menu and select
  Bottom.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

To move the taskbar

• Click an empty space on the taskbar, and then hold down the mouse button as you drag the taskbar to one of the four edges of the desktop. When the taskbar is where you want it, release the mouse button.
