    I cannot find a fix for this problem online, and tweaking the mouse in Settings is fruitless. the mouse has new batteries, and I am using Windows 11,1 and the system tells me all of the drivers are functioning.

    erratic cursor

    I have tried all suggested with out success I even changed the keyboard and the mouse to a wired one.

    I think I have found a solution I remembered that I recently ran Norton Utilities where it resets the PC reference point and since then I have had the problems, So I have been going through all my recent Word documents and saving them with the current
    date, then deleting the previous versions.

    So far (fingers crossed) this has stopped the problem re-occurring

    Why is the cursor directed by the mouse so erratic?

    Erratic or disappearing cursor with wireless mouse (mice)

    I have seen numerous complaints but no solutions for wireless mice/mouse problems in Windows 10. The problem has existed for me since last fall 2016. I have tried 3 wireless mice including a Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 and 2 Logitech mice M305 and
    M325. The Microsoft mouse is sluggish and the cursor takes a second to catch up with the mouse movement (erratic). Both Logitech mice have the disappearing cursor problem. I also checked both mice for current drivers.

    The problems are not every day or all day. I can be USING the computer and the cursor disappears or becomes erratic/sluggish. Or the cursor will disappear after sleep.

    I reset my computer 1 month ago which is time consuming and didnt help. I had no problem activating Windows after the reset, but had to reinstall many programs. And I did check for new drivers for both mice after resetting.

    Please help Why is the cursor directed by the mouse so erratic? :)
