    Why is my cursor moving and clicking the top left of my screen and refreshing the screen?


    Hello, my mouse cursor will randomly jump and move to the top left corner of the screen and click. It will also click to the left where the cursor is on the screen. The screen will also randomly refresh. Also, the winget menu would randomly open constantly so I completely removed it from my computer. I have updated my laptop and restarted it. I know this is a software issue as when using either my mouse or trackpad the problem occurs. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Cursor moves to top middle of my screen and makes open windows inactive when it touches anywhere on the left of the screen

    Whenever I touch the left side of the screen with my cursor all open windows become inactive and the cursor snaps to the middle of the top of my screen. Moving to the right again causes it to move out from the left again. This causes issues because it always accidentally touches the edge of the screen. The same issue does not happen on the right edge.

    The problem doesn't occur in the BIOS menu or the lock screen and my mouse is at full battery. I have tried restarting my PC and unplugging my USB receiver to no avail. The PC does not think another monitor is connected.

    cursor moving itself to top right/ bottom right of screen

    I have an HP Envy 27 - poo1ns desktop running windows 10, 1 year old, wireless keyboard and mouse.

    For the last 3 weeks the cursor moves itself to top right/ bottom right of screen and also flickers continuously when being moved around the screen. As the cursor moves to the top right of the screen it often clicks on the X in the top right closing the
    current application on the screen.

    This has just about rendered the PC unusable.

    Any solutions would be much appreciated.

    Things I have tried so far:

    Used a different mouse

    Reloaded the driver software

    Restored back 2 months to remove MS updates

    Edited the mouse control software

    Mouse cursor jumps to top of screen

    Hi, my mouse cursor is acting very weird. The cursor jumps to the top of my left screen on dual monitor setup. It's been fine up until today. It's a wireless mouse and has new battery. I have a video of it but don't know how to post or add link to YouTube.
    Any help would be great as it's almost unusable.
