Windows 10 fully updated. Mouse freezes now and then.

If you have to reinstall an OS, I'd try clean Windows 10. It should fix it.

Windows 8.1 will only get mainstream support for another six months (January 9, 2018) and will not get any updates after January 10, 2023.


My guess is you have some other software running from Windows 8.1 which is continuing to run in Windows 10 that is having unintended consequences. This problem you're describing is not something that's a known issue with Windows 10.

I had tried that as well... no result.
