Windows 10: Windows 10 Mouse Lag

Hi Community,


Lack of smooth mouse movement: To sum up the issue, the cursor is not smooth and feels like it is lagging behind by a few noticeable milliseconds.


Context:

• I have tried a number of different things suggested in online articles but to no success so far
• In addition, this behaviour is consistent across multiple mice (in fact the current one I use is brand new)

Important info:

• Today I happened to notice something interesting. A few days ago, I connected a second monitor to my PC (nothing fancy, just a very basic Dell monitor). However, I noticed that when I move my mouse across to the second monitor, the problem doesn't exist. It seems to only exist on monitor 1 (below)
• It is worth noting that this issue existed before the second monitor was added, but I don't recall this always being an issue

Supporting info:

• Monitor 1: ASUS 4K (3840 x 2160) display
• Monitor 2: Dell 1280 x 1024 display

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763

GPU RX 580

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3601 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)



Any help is greatly appreciated

Mouse Lag!?!

Basically what it does is remove the mouse acceleration in XP. The mouse will feel slower at first, but eventually you'll get used to it... the only reason why I suggested the mouse fix was because mouse acceleration sometimes causes the sensation of having a laggy mouse (laggy meaning responding slowly). If you meant lag as in jumping around and generally not being responsive, then I guess you'll need to wait for more suggestions *Smile
