Windows 10: touchpad/mouse unresponsive every time I stop moving it for more than a few seconds

I've noticed in the past that sometimes it seems like the mouse goes into some kind of sleep mode, but starts working an instant after I start moving it again. Suddenly, any time I stop moving it for literally 5 seconds (more than 3 seconds, definitely shorter than 10 seconds), it takes an extra few second to get any response from the mouse (logitech, bluetooth) or from the onboard touchpad. The bluetooth mouse takes a little longer to resume working, but both create such an annoying lag that I can't get any work done right now.



Any ideas what could be causing this problem? I can't find any relevant power settings or anything related specifically to the mouse. I would blame the mouse but I get a similar problem with the touchpad.

Unable to move touchpad- mouse while typing

Ive updated the Windows to 1903 as suggested and downloaded the Synaptic touchpad driver. Still having the problem. To reiterate, I have a one second delay after typing before i can move mouse. And when i hold down
a key i cant move my mouse which makes gaming impossible.

 

Mouse and touchpad not working

Hey did exactly what you suggested and the first time i did it the mouse cursor became visible, it was at the center of the screen but i still couldnt make it move with the touchpad and i plugged in my usb mouse and that doesnt work too. I did it a few moret times but cursor never showed up again and still could make either the touchpad or the mouse to work. Do you have anymore suggestion?

 

Synaptics Touchpad stops working or keeps moving itself

I am using Windows 10 version 1703 (OS Build 15063.413) on HP Notebook 1000. And just for reference I have encountered this issue in previous versions of Windows 10 as well. Every time I clean install Windows 10 and update to install drivers, it will work fine for about 1-2 months and then suddenly out of nowhere touchpad will either stops working or keeps moving itself after 5-10 minutes of restart ( even if I don't update Windows, means same drivers version ).

Right now I have installed version 19.3.31.16 of Synaptics pointing device drivers. But I have tried to solve this issue by installing previous version of drivers as well ( version 8.xx, 10.xx, 17.xx, 19.0.19.1 ). After installing drivers the first time it works fine for about 15 minutes and then same issue!

I have noticed this btw:

• Every time I put the laptop to sleep and then log on, touchpad works fine for about 5 minutes.
• Every time I restart the laptop, it works fine for about 5 minutes.
• Even If I uninstall the drivers and use basic drivers by Windows 10, the same thing happens. Touchpad keeps flickering, moving itself or would just stop working.
• Sometimes Upper right or left corner of touchpad will work fine while the rest of the area is unresponsive.

Have anybody else encountered this issue? How did you resolve it? I don't wanna install Windows again or keep restarting my laptop.
