    One of the possible causes why you're having cursor jump issue might due to some hardware setting corruption.

  3. Cursor jumps

    I did a factory reset on my computer and am using an entirely different, wired mouse and the cursor is STILL jumping to the top left.

    Any suggestions what it could be? Or what to do now? Thank you.
