    Mouse pointer moving/shaking on its own (/without being touched)


    Since this morning my mouse keeps suddenly jittering a few pixels at a time without me touching it.
    Even if I disconnect my mouse and disable the touchpad this problem still occurs.
    I'm working on a MSI laptop running windows 10.

    Things I've tried:
    Installing the latest windows update - No result
    Running windows 10 in save mode - No result
    Disconnecting mousepad using third party software (Touchpad Blocker) - No result
    Running multiple different anti virus scans - No result
    Unchecked "Enhance Pointer Precision" in the control pannel - No result
    Fantasizing about throwing my laptop out of the window from 2rd floor - No result
    Running the "Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter" from the control pannel - No result


    Does anyone have suggestions about what other things I could try before completely reinstalling my laptop from scratch?

    Could it be some hardware related issue with my laptop?


    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Mouse Pointer

    Hi,

    You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
    • Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
    • Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
      Apply > OK.

    If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
    Browse.

    Update us if it addressed your issue.

    Mouse pointer moving/shaking on its own (/without being touched)

    The combination of DX11, Mouse Pointer Trails and Fullscreen Games means no mouse cursor.

    Hi,

    For Mouse Pointer Trails, refer the steps below.

    Step 1: Click the bottom-left Start button on the desktop, enter
    mouse in the blank box and tap Mouse in the search results to open Mouse Properties.

    Step 2: Choose Pointer Options, select
    Display pointer trails     and hit OK.

    Tip: To specify the length of pointer trails, you can move the
    small scale in Visibility to left or right.

    Also for the mouse issue, I suggest you to download the latest drivers for mouse from the manufacturer's website and check. Install the drivers in compatible mode and check as well.

    I suggest you to run the game in Direct X12 as this is the latest in Windows 10. Check if the issue persist.

    Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!
