Ok so my mouse works perfectly fine when I do usual work like browsing and all the cursor works fine BUT whenever I play games my mouse constantly freezes every second and unfreezes and then goes to the position where I moved it to . Lets take 'Fall Guys' game for example, Whenever I play that game and use my external mousethis is only happening with the external mouse, the trackpad of my laptop works fine the in-game cursor works perfectly fine and is smooth but the game behind freezes like I moved my In-Game cursor from one place to another and it did not freeze but the game behind it froz

Mouse freezes constantly but only while playing games.

Ok so my mouse works perfectly fine when I do usual work like browsing and all the cursor works fine BUT whenever I play games my mouse constantly freezes every second and unfreezes and then goes to the position where I moved it to . Lets take 'Fall Guys' game for example, Whenever I play that game and use my external mouse(this is only happening with the external mouse, the trackpad of my laptop works fine) the in-game cursor works perfectly fine and is smooth but the game behind freezes like I moved my In-Game cursor from one place to another and it did not freeze but the game behind it froze and unfroze. I once opened task manager and positioned it so I can see the game too and when I'm Alt-Tabbed into the task manager and use my mouse inside the task manager it works fine but the game in different window freezes . This happens every time I use my mouse . Now let's take another game for example which is 'GTA V' in this the game freezes whenever I move the camera inside game and the cursor also freezes when I'm in menu or settings and the cursor and game both freezes unlike 'Fall Guys' . The funny or weird thing is that when I aim with a Weapon in GTA V and move the camera while aiming the game doesn't freezes ( this only happens sometime, other time it also freezes while moving camera while aiming) .

What I've tried :

Updating Drivers

Re-Installing Drivers

Changing ports and using in different ports

P.S. I don't think its my external mouse's problem as it works perfectly fine whenever I don't game. But it also could be my mouse's problem as it does not freezes when I use my trackpad.

Thanks for reading and hopefully I can get assistance on this ( Sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning)

Can't play Hit It Rich game and system freezes

Hi carmenstanley1,

Thank you for your response.

I can understand how frustrating it would be. This issue might be due to corrupted profile or if the game is not installed completely. I suggest you to follow these steps and let us know if it works.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Are you aware of any changes happened on the computer prior to this issue?
  
• Have you tried playing this game on other browser (Google chrome or Mozilla) and check for the issue?
  

Step 1: Uninstall or Repair the game.

1. Press Windows and
   R key together on your Keyboard.
2. Type appwiz.cpl and hit enter.
   
3. Right click on the Hit it Rich app > Select Repair or uninstall it.
4. Reinstall the application and check for the issue.
   

Step 2: Create a new local account.

The reason might be due to user account corruption, so I would suggest you to ‘Create
a local user or administrator account’ and check if the issue persists.

Note: You will not see all your files under your default file location.
So your data will be saved under C:\Users\User_name.

If you are facing issues with freezing, I would suggest you to follow the troubleshooting steps on
Tips to improve PC performance in Windows
10.

Hope it helps.
