Mouse cursor erratic on Windows 10

[cats60221]

Hello,

I have a Logitech G300. The cursor on it is moving erratically when I move the mouse. It twitches and isn't very accurate.

I tried another G300 and still same issue.

Then I tried other mice and still same issue.

I have tried Googling and trying several different troubleshooting methods. Nothing works. :'(

What is going on :'(. It's making it very hard to use my computer.

Let me know if you want any other info. I reinstalled Windows 10 and same issue still.

Go into resource monitor, and see if your disk is being hammered by Windows.

I had the same issue after some Windows updates, and I had to run disk cleanup, and delete Windows.old. Another time I manually set my page file size, and then went back to let Windows handle the size.

It could be something else, but like you I initially thought my mouse was bad. You can also try changing where you plug the receiver in (USB 3 to 2, or vice versa).

I had an erratic mouse cursor on a laptop which wouldn't go away even with a fresh install of Windows. Turned out to be the charger.
