Windows 10: Recent Windows download causing cursor to move out of control

Immediately after a Windows update download, I rebotted, and ever since then my cursor/mouse has been moving on its own zooming in/out and shaking randomly. Any idea how to fix this?

...

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

Hi Malasuerte,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you to fix the issue.



To assist you better, I would like to know what is the make and model of the computer?



Let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if that helps in resolving the issue. Follow the below methods.

  Type Troubleshooting in the search bar on the Control Panel.

Method 3.

If the above method did not help to fix the issue, I would suggest you to

• 
  Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select Properties.

  Select Compatibility tab.

  Check Run this program in Compatibility mode.
