Windows 10: Windows 10 Mouse Lagging

Hello *Smile

Since I upgraded to Windows 10 I sadly have problems with the mouse cursor being laggy in some situations.
It's not a hardware issue as in the other thread about that topic over here (that's why I started a new topic), as it happens to my touchpad as well and even "Keyboard Mouse" (Controlling mouse pointer via Numpad).

The effect is that if I move the mouse pointer around it will suddenly stop ever approx. 3 seconds.
It doesn't happen if Task Manager is in foreground strangely.

If no program is started it doesn't happen as well, the main issue is with internet browsers. (Edge, Chrome, Firefox)

I somehow thought it might be a driver problem and I updated graphics drivers and wireless card drivers, but both didn't help.

I hadn't have this issue in Win 8.1.

Do you have any suggestions what might could help? The issue is driving me crazy.

Greetings


Update:
I found the solution, it can be seen here: Windows 10 Mouse Lagging

:)

 

Mouse keeps lagging and does not respond properly!

Have you tried the mouse on another machine, and another mouse on your machine ?

- Seems a lot of people have had mouse lag issues with Win10. The link below is just one of several threads

where you may find a fix that works for you.

Mouse lag after upgrading to Windows 10

same here, mouse lag/stutter with ANY wireless mouse on Windows 10

 

Does that happen when you use the dedicated GPU (the Nvidia) or the IGP (the Intel) or both?

 

I can't control which of them is running, they're switching on their own. But if I understand the principle of them right the Nvidia GPU should just kick in on Games

 

When Task Manager is open, can switch to other windows and hide it behind them? If not, then "Always on Top" is enabled which I believe grabs the mouse cursor from other programs trying to grab it. And does the mouse do the same thing with programs open while it is in the security options (ctrl+alt+delete)?

 

Yes, Task Manager is hidden if I click into another window.

In security options the effect doesn't appear as well.

I seem to be close to the problem: I'm not sure if it's coincidence, but the problem seems to disappear if I exit Dropbox in tray. Are there any known incompabilities?

EDIT: It seems to be caused by everything that causes internet traffic. Spotify as well for example. Strange thing.

 

OK I don't have experience on switchable GPUs, but your last message has ruled out that possibility.

Can you try to downlaod nope, a torrent or something that generates lots of traffic and check. Does CPU usage spikes while the mouse lags

 

With a torrent running it's very laggy and I don't get CPU spikes, but I get HDD (SSD in this case) spikes with explorer.exe calling TwinUI.dll

 

That could be the issue, but it's happening in all internet apps including Firefox. Does uTorrent or whatever use run in the background, and if exit from the background and use another internet app like Firefox, does it still lag? I think that Task Manager and the Security Options run on an administrative level which means that low-privileged processes can't grab the mouse control from it.

And have scanned the computer with an antivirus (make sure to check the exclusions to make sure that nothing in in there before scanning)? It's possible that someone installed a joke program which launches at startup (even if are the only person with access to the computer, it could've entered in the form of a download), but it's weird that it only happens when 're running internet-using apps.

 

I have the exact same problem after upgrading to windows 10, installed new drivers for both my graphic cards, which did not help. I can see that me and Daniel have almost the exact same laptop.

I can see huge ethernet spikes sometimes, but no specific spikes during the lag. Same thing aplies to task manager, once that is in the foreground, the lag is gone.

I noticed that the lag also occurs on scrolling, with either my wireless mouse, or my trackpad on my laptop. While scrolling with the trackpad when the lag occurs a bleeping sound is also heard through the speakers.

 

I'm having the exact same issue, slightly different PC specs, although similar. Again, no issue with the Task Manager in the foreground or while on the Security Options.

Update: With all internet connections disconnected, issue persists. The problem may be further agitated by internet traffic, but this does not appear to be the root cause.

 

I seem to be having the same issue:

Acer R7 572
Intel HD 4400

When I play Diablo 3 or play a video in chrome, the mouse seems to stutter every couple of seconds. It also seems to affect the keyboard (if i press and hold down a key into a text field, every couple of seconds it will pause, same as the mouse).

I've tried reinstalling intel driver, and changing usb ports of the mouse. No luck *Sad

EDIT: I did a system restore to a few days ago, and the issue is gone, which leads me to believe it's not a hardware issue, but some filesystem or driver change within the last few days. The system restore was Aug 3 2015.

 

That's interesting. I hadn't noticed the keyboard issue; but, I just tried pressing and holding a key and it appears to have that same issue too.

In your System Restore, were their any noticeable system changes listed that could have been attributed to the change?

 

Sorry, I didn't notice anything that stood out. I'm going to reinstall windows altogether, because I hate running on a restored system (leftover crap, etc).. But I'll keep an eye on this thread.
