Hi ,

I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

Scan your computer with Windows Defender multiple times. Then scan it with the free version of Malwarebytes.

Then, use another keyboard and mouse to see if the issue persists.

You can also change your account's password to be on the safe side. Follow these additional steps to keep your computer secure:

Stay safe.

    Hello,

    The problem is solved, I disabled touchpad from settings and the problem no longer occurs.

    Thank you so much for your help, and sorry for the late response.
