Sometimes when you're using your computer, your cursor will seemingly move on its own. Don't call the exorcists just yet, though; there are several reasons why a cursor can move about without you moving the mouse.

If your mouse is moving on its own, you should address the problem right away. Some of the issues causing the motion can get even worse with time if left unattended.

Recently a friend told me that its mouse cursor moves on its own. In particular, the mouse cursor on his laptop moves slowly to the left side of the screen and makes it difficult to click on anything on the screen.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Alienware, Razer, MSI, Huawei , Microsoft Surface, and Samsung.

Here is a fun fact. Mouse slowly move even when it is unplugged. This only happens on windows 10. This is my case. it happens randomly. Windows restart fix it but its really annoying when working. Sometimes it fixes itself out of nowhere without doing anything...

its not my mouse, i unpluged it and still doing the same it goes all over mostly to the top left corner and at times opens other files etc its my pc its messed up

[BrendaBrenTV]

What if you can’t click anything because the mouse wont respond because it keeps moving? 😅

I've lost count of how many times I have warned the ghost in my house to stay away from my stuff!
Like, "Mess with anything but, you better not mess with my computer!"😂😂

Outstanding. That is, this stands out from so many bad tutorials that makes me wonder if clear, to-the-point, understandable instruction is a thing of the past. THANK YOU

My system wireless mouse is moving in circles as soon as I turn it on. I have tried everything mentioned in this video but its behavior is still the same. A different mouse is working absolutely fine. What could be the issue with this HP wireless mouse?

[Scaash]

I am having a issue with it moving on just the basic computer screen and its not the mouse or the keyboard

[BethStar]

This would be helpful it the mouse would move where I want it. I am so frustrated, anyone know I think I might have windows 11? My cursor work on the control alt delete screen but on the main desktop it just flies to the top right and you can drag it down but it just pings back up

Hi - I’m unable to control anything because my mouse won’t stop moving (and opening random files). How can I stop it to try your suggestions? Thank you.

The issue was my USB hub. Unplugged it, let the power drain, plug it back in and presto chango the movement had stopped. Now it took me 4 days of experimenting with every fix I could find before thinking of this.

Hi! I think with my mouse have hardware problem. Becouse if I connect that Trust mouse to any other PC, the problem appears. And if I connect another mouse then there are no problem. I unscrewed mouse and cleaned inside (small peace of plastic fell off). Re-assambly it, but problem still accours time-to-time.

I tried all these steps and my mouse cursor will still randomly bug out and go up on my screen and it wont go away until i restart but it will came back again. I have switched out mouses and it still bugs out. Any other ideas on what could be causing this?

[En_theo]

Thanks for the video. Would you know how to set windows 10 so it does not refresh the content of a folder when we paste a file in the folder (I mean while we are inside it) ?

All previous Windows worked like that and it was handy, now I have found nowhere how to get Windows 10 to behave like that. Thanks in advance if you find how to do that.

my problem is when i’m playing a video game it would randomly flick on its own and same with the cursor it flicks out of no where on its own

[Yuieatspaint]

wtf i clicked ur video and my mouse is somehow normal now, like i didn't even do any of the tips you're showing here, ARE YOU TECH JESUS?!

[skip_level]

When I uninstalled the Mouse I unplugged and replugged it and it seems like it fixed it?

[Hamilton]

This did not help me in my case unfortunately. My issue is the cursor is moving all around the screen on its own quickly. I cannot control it long enough to click on any icons. It's a fight just to have control of the cursor for a split second.

I had the same problem with my wireless mouse. I solved the problem by inserting the wireless keyboard/mouse receiver into a different USB port. Perhaps the issue is an motherboard IR mismatch.

My problem is everytime around 40 min after I turn my laptop on, my wireless mouse curcor starts erratic for about 20 s. And then back to normal. It drives me crazy
