Windows 10: Mouse/touchpad keeps going to corner of the screen when playing games. Could it be a...

Both my mouse, touchpad, and touchscreen on my laptop likes to reset to the corners of the screen randomly when I am playing games. I have tried to reinstall drivers for all 3 but it still constantly resets. The device is a Lenovo Yoga 7 with win 11. Even when not running load-intensive applications, the input devices still occasionally goes to the corner of my screen without warning. The Enhance Pointer Precision is off and turning it on again did not solve the issue. The issue does not occur on my older Windows 10 device, even though it is similar specs and running the same applications.
