Windows 10: Mouse stuttering ever since 24H2

Hello,Ever since I upgraded from Windows 11 23H2 to 24H2, I've been dealing with mouse stutter on startup and now also every slight CPU spike that happens. I've tried to solve that, but nothing worked, so I reinstalled my computer to Windows 10 22H2 last month, 2 days after New Year's Eve, and everything was running flawlessly until recent cumulative updates that cannot be uninstalled because they're critical to running this system. It's the exact same thing as on Windows 11 24H2, so I guess something that was pushed to Windows 11 was also pushed to Windows 10... I've run LatencyMon to see if

Mouse Stutter in Windows 11

OK - new Windows update (2025-01 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050094) and it looks like MS have known about an issue all along! Let's see if it works..

Fixed: The mouse cursor might stutter when it moves across the screen. This occurs even when the system is not using a lot of resources.

 

Mouse Stutter

Was curious to know if anyone can weigh in on this...
I've had a weird mouse stutter where I think I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of and find online. I'm running the latest build of Windows 10. I keep all my drivers uptodate as well. With that said, I've tried the lastest NVidia Drivers, latest Mouse drivers for the mouse I'm using ( logitech g602). I've tried using Logitechs software and not using it.

• reinstalled windows with a clean install
• switched my router to 5ghz
• tried bluetooth connection, ( seems worse than the wifi connection )
• disabled Nvidia High Definition in Device manager
• turned off the power off option under every USB peripheal in Device manager
• Tried another usb port
• tried another mouse... with this being said, I use a wacom tablet. This is studio machine so it's higher much higher end and should not suffer from the mouse lag but noticed this will stutter from time to time as well. But what I just realized this morning and just want to know if I could have a confirmation... I'm currently backing up an older large drive that uses USB 2.0. I'm using backblaze to get everything up as fast as I can.

Since i've had it uploading, I noticed moreso the stutter. Is it possible that this drive could be causing the stutter? If my thinking is correct, even tho it's just uploading online the drive is being accessed and if the USB connection is the bottle neck, I'm thinking this could cause a stutter with other USB peripheals regardless if they are are 3.0 or not
