    My pointer sometimes floats, flies, skips left and right, and hides on the side of screen


    Sometimes when I try to drag the pointer out hiding on the side of the screen, it comes for 1/4th of inch and it pops back in. Sometimes I wait for 30 minutes to drag it out, it allows to to slelect and clicks pops right back to the sides of the screen. On a luck day, the cursor works, but it still atcs out slowly and not erratically if I don't jerk the mouse by moving it too fast. Help. Thank you.

    :)

    how to effectively hide or disable the taskbar?

    Hi,



    Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



    If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

    • Right click on Taskbar.
    • Click on Properties
    • Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on OK.


    Hope this information helps.

    Mouse settings: Hide pointer while typing has no effect

    In Windows 10 there is this option called "Hide pointer while typing" under
    Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options


    My pointer sometimes floats, flies, skips left and right, and hides on the side of screen 112873d1485974678t-mouse-settings-hide-pointer-while-typing-has-no-effect-zk0pz.png


    The idea behind this option makes really sense.
    However, it does not seem to have any effect on the following apps I tried. They all behave in the following ways regardless of whether this option is checked or not:

    • Notepad and WordPad: Pointer is always hidden while typing.
    • Notepad++: Pointer is never hidden while typing.
    • MS Word 2016: Pointer is hidden while typing; however hitting the shift key makes it reappear, which of course happens all the time while typing resulting in a flickering pointer...

    The behaviour of Word 2016 is the worst of all. While I would prefer the pointer really being hidden while typing, a pointer that is never hidden is still better than that flickering pointer!

    Can anybody confirm this behaviour or knows how to resolve it?
