Windows 10: my mouse randomly slows and quickens by itself when playing games

Hi,
I'm writing to you regarding a problem I have been facing for some time now, exactly since January. Everytime I try to play any game, my mouse starts, I would call it „stuttering“, for no reason at all. And because I mainly play FPS games, in which I need to move my mouse quickly, it's even more frustrating. I will try to describe my problem more closely to you. While playing, my mouse for the most of the time moves how it's supposed to, but sometimes, it randomly starts moving slowly or quickly. This problem is very annoying especially at times, when I need to turn around quickly. Ironically, the mouse usually slows. What's intereting is that, this problem is occuring only in games and not in the Windows or on a browser. Because I own multiple mouses, I tried to switch one for another, but it seems to have no impact on this ongoing issue. I would appreciate if you could help me fix it, thanks.

:)

Hi Armen,

Thank you for posting in Community.

We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to help you resolve the issue.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

• Do you face this issue only when playing games?
• If yes, does it happen only to a specific game?
• Other than changing your mouse, did you make any other changes prior to the issue?

As per the information that you have provided, I would suggest that you follow the steps below to help us narrow down the issue.

Method 1:

Connect another mouse to your PC, perform the same task and check. You may also randomly click without lunching the game to check if the issue occurs only during game play.

Method 2:

If the issue persist in both the above stated scenario, I would suggest that you place your computer in Safe Mode and check. Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help you troubleshoot problems on your
PC.

Note: You will not be able to launch the game in Safe Mode. However, I would recommend that you randomly click and check if the same issue occurs.
