Hey,

Ive got some random mouse lags, where every few seconds the mouse pauses then tries to catch up. ive tested quite a few things and im starting to go crazy:

tried a new mouse, same issue

tried mouse on another comp, works fine

updated drivers for everything

booted in safe mode (mouse works)

booted in msconfig with disable all services (mouse lags)

antivirus scans

ran a sfc scannow

uninstalled mouse drivers and got new ones

did a clean install of c drive

disabled realtek

probably 20 other things im forgetting over the last few days, any additional ideas or advice would be great thank you!

    ok this is insane and for anyone who might accidentally find this, after a week of digging through forums and looking up stuff, the problem resolved itself. i left the computer on for 10 hours while i was at work and it started working again. my guess is that there was some hidden update or windows was doing something in the shadows for the 2 hours i tried to fix it a night, but idk. none of the guides helped me, just leaving it on for a long time did. weird. well see when i restart my computer later

    Hi ChadBond -

    Thank you for your response and I apologize that the given methods did not work, please try the other methods below.

    Method 1: Perform Clean Boot

    • This process will eliminate 3rd party application running in the background of your computer along with services that are not needed to run windows. If there's any conflicting 3rd party application that causes the issue on your computer, this process will stop it.
    1. Open the run box by pressing the Windows Key + R and type msconfig
    2. System Configuration Utility box will open and by default you are on general tab.
    3. On the General tab, click the selective startup and make sure that load system service and load startup items both have checked mark.
    4. Click on services tab
    5. Put a check mark on Hide All Microsoft Services > This is a very important part as if you miss to click on this, computer might not boot properly or permanently and will end up on clean installation.
    6. Once Hide all Microsoft Services have checked mark on it, click on Disable All
    7. Click on the Startup Tab and click open task manager. This will open another window which contains all your startup applications on the administrator account.
    8. Disable all application that you're not using. You can simply just click on them and select disable.
    9. Click OK , Apply and close the configuration utility.
    10. Restart your computer and check if the issue still persist.

    Method 2: Create a new user profile

    • We will try to create new user profile to check if the issue happens on all windows users on your computer or just isolated on the current profile that you're using.
    1. Open the command prompt with elevated access (Administrator Access)
    2. Type the below command and hit enter every after command.

    net user "account name" /add

    (change the "account name" to any name that you preferred)

    net localgroup administrators "account name" /add

    (change the "account name" with the name that you put in the first command)

    1. Close the command prompt and switch to the new user.

    Check if the same issue occurs on the new user profile.

    Regards,

    Jerico T.
