    Mouse pointer jumps to the text cursor or a random location


    Mouse cursor/pointer jumps abruptly from current/last position to the position where the text insertion cursor is on the screen. At times it even jumps to some random location on screen, either at bottom or left top corner.
    This issue has been observed almost across all applications Edge, Excel, OneNote, Firefox, Notepads and even in Feedback Hub.

    Also issue occurs while using trackpad as well as external mouse.

    Mouse pointer would either jump to middle of text box, in the cell last typed or top left corner Start Menu

    Till now I have tried all available solution on various internet forums, including changing settings of mouse hide pointer while typing/enhance pointer precision, re-installing drivers, disable trackpad etc though issues isn't fixed.
    Can someone from your side provide some help.

    :)

  2. Jumping mouse cursor

    Mouse cursor keeps jumping out of control. I've uninstalled it (there were 3 listed under the mouse device) and then updated the device driver. Didn't fix it. What do I do?

    Mouse pointer loading cursor location bug

    When my mouse pointer switches to the loading cursor it no longer matches up to its correct location on the screen. Once it is done loading and returns to the non-loading cursor it is back to the correct location. What do I do to fix this and keep the loading
    cursor aligned?

    The odd thing is that switching my cursors in the Mouse Settings page of the control panel seems to correct it for a few minutes before the loading cursor begins to drift again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Mouse pointer jumps to the text cursor or a random location

    The Mouse in my windows 10 computer is not working. The cursor jumps in random directions.

    <Original Title: Jumping mouse. Please help>

    For the past few months my cursor has been jumping arround in random directions and at random times, and it does it in games too, some times lasting up to 30 mins befor jumping again, most of the time it only jumps about an inch, this problem has been getting
    worse over time too. (jumping more frequent, and at longer distances) So I thought that the mouse was going bad (it was a razer mouse) so i got a new G502 gaming mouse, and I still have the problem, and is not the mouse pad either, and I tried 4 different
    USB ports and even reinstalled logitech drivers twice, and razer shitnapse/synapse 4 times when I had that mouse. So I booted in to safe mode (it still did it in safe mode), and ran some virus scans, with AVG, malwarebytes, and CMD, and CCleaner, nothing came
    up, so i ended up finding a post in a forum http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/164708-Randomly-Jumping-Cursor were he had the same problem in windows 8.

    So after reading that post I found that if I go in to Device Manager and check the mouse there are 4 mice under Mice and other pointing devices that all have the name "HID-comlpiant mouse" (and 6 keyborads to for some reason, I think it has something to
    do with the extra "G keys") so if I delete 3 of the mice, leaving the one thats says Logitech Gaming Virtual Mouse under the General tab and Location, then the cursor stops jumping arround. But after restarting the pc I have the problem again, so I have to
    go back in to Device Manager and delete the other 3 mice again for it to stop, and given that after restarting the pc, and there are 4 mice in Device Manager again, that tells me that they are suppossed to be there. so the problem has to be caused by somthing
    elts. ( I think )

    I have also tried enabling/disabling Enhance pointer persison, and Hide pointer while typing, that did nothing. And all my drivers are up to date.

    Please help me, I am running out of things to try, and have not found any one elts that has this problem execpt for that one forum post.

    Edit: Oh and I for got to mention that sometimes when I restart the pc, the keyboard doesnt load, so I have to unplug it and plug it back in again to log in to windows, it starteddoing this about a month ago, I dont know if that has anything to do with the
    mouse jumping but, I think it does.
