How To Fix a Computer Mouse That Keeps Moving On Its Own (Sensor Cleaning & Driver Reinstall)

Too much info on non problem

In my case the solution was as simple as disconnecting the traditional mouse ( = connected with a USB wire) that I had on "just in case..."
So two input devices were conflicting?
(Mac OS, Logitech Unifying receiver & M280)

Tried all but mouse keep repeating 😢

restarting has temporarily helped me. changing the wireless mouse transmitters from one usb port to another helps sometimes. I've updated drivers and uninstalled the mouse and made the changes suggested under pointer options. nothing seems to help yet. I did just try one new suggestion here which I've seen elsewhere and that's modifying the mouse speed. Hopefull, that helps. I'll say this it's very hard to change any options in pointer options if your mouse is drifting as fast as mine does.

Thanks very much...Cleaning the sensor worked

Hide pointer while typing unchecked it and solved my mouse problem
The curser was just jumping all over the screen when to screen, no window open

bro can i get your ig so i can show y a problem in with my mouse is not like in this video , pliz ,<3

Thanks for the step through to uninstall! I found two drivers named the same. Once I uninstalled one, it was fixed. My mouse cursor (wireless mouse and trackpad) kept drifting fast across the screen in one direction. Right clicking on options was very hard, I reduced the cursor speed to a very low setting and navigated menus via keyboard to uninstall the mouse. So glad it worked!

Bro u are life saver

You may have just. Solved cycles & spots on my screen from touch💻pad. & I have been having this happen all the time. With mouse pointer precision. & this time u gave me the option of slowing it right down thanks 👍🏿your Awesome.

Cursor is moving even mouse is off ?

do you have a solution for my problem? I have a bluetooth mouse and its clicking on its own. don't know how to turn it off.

Thanks a ton. Was very helpful.

the cursor moves, not the mouse

Thank you men😢❤❤

thanks josh

Taking control of the mouse.
i have the same problem with unwanted mouse movement. I made the following change
in Mouse Pointer settings.
1. Select mouse pointer speed. - move slider all the way to the left.
This slow down the mouse dramatically. Adjust slowly towards the right a little bit.
2, Move Pointer to default button in dialog box - user choice.
3. Hide pointer while typing - user choice.
4. Show location of pointer when I click CTRL key - user choice.
These steps worked for me; they should work on any Windows platform.
The main thing is reducing mouse movement speed.

Hope this helps.

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 cursor tends to go crazy and move and repeatively click everywhere, i kiterally thought somebody is clearly hacked me and using my laptop just to annoy me , ive done the adjusting the pointers and speed ect, applied it and it fixes the problem for around 15 minites then its back to its old tricks, i thought it could be the mouse, so i unplugged the mouse and only used the touchpad, does the exact same thing, does that mean my laptop is defective? It runs smoothley apart from this, im not sure wheather to try get a replacement or will it just have the same problem, HELP

Thanks the HID method worked for me 🙏❤️ i already gave up on my computer but i love it again 🙏🙏🙏

I just cleaned my mouse and it reworks, it was so obvious ! Thanks :)

Thanks, the reinstallation of the mouse worked for me.

Device drivers removal and update fixed it for me. Appreciate the video!

i want to thank you so much, turns out my wireless mouse needed a new battery and i forgot, and you pointed that out for me, it was frustrating that my cursor kept moving and flickering so thank you so much, this video had clear instructions and steps, it was simple and all yes.

Mine kept installing them even though the fix worked day after day it seemed. Then I bumped the tower and boom, two new mice, so I fixed it and deliberately bumped it again...sure enough two more mice! I had been building my own computers for years in the same old tower. Replacing the tower fixed it but I believe it was just dirty/loose "stuff" (likely usb ports or wires) that was the real culprit. Probably just cleaning and tightening connections would have worked, or replacing the usb ports (they were out of date anyway) but the new tower is pretty.

Bro i dont understand, it is stuck there and when i try to move it just returns to the top left corner. When i try opening windows it just close back. Please help me

I bought an HP desktop (Win 11, intel core i3 10th Gen, 256GB SSD, 4GB RAM) last week hoping that it would solve the issue of my other HP Desktop PC disconnecting intermittently from the internet (hardwired connection). I've been having this issue since I moved to my new house last year.

The issue didn’t go away and this new PC acts fast but still disconnects intermittently from the internet as well (hardwired connection).

I was told that I needed a 1GB ethernet adapter or PCI (i think they’re the same thing), but it’s hard to believe that my brand new computer is already having issues. This problem occurs both on a hardwired and wireless connection.

I had also bought a Samsung Galaxy Book 2 and it also had trouble connecting to the domain name server at times.

I have a Netgear Nighthawk Tri-Band Router AC3200, it keeps my Roku streaming flawless because I had a dual-band router also by Netgear but the wifi signal was very slow and with a lot of buffering, especially on my Roky streaming.

Spectrum technicians checked the internet signal intensity, and tweaked it a bit by reducing the signal because it was at 38.5 dBmv, but that didn’t help either. They told me that it could be the router.

I also got a new cable modem from Spectrum, but that the problem with the intermittent internet continued and is still ongoing.

Please help, do you know or does anyone know why this is happening? Thank you very much.

Hello? why wont my ( headphones ) connect with i plug them in, But if i restart my laptop they will work! But if i unplug them they will not reconnect. And believe me i have tryed everything that i know to do. I have up dated my sound drivers ....... update the realtek drivers. and they still wont connect.

None of this works

It started happening to my mouse a couple updates ago. I bought a new mouse, same problem, bought another mouse, same thing. I'm wondering if it's a window issue? After that update I noticed I have to turn my volume way down low because everything is playing much more loudly and my mouse seems super sensitive. It just keeps popping on like it's moving when it's perfectly still. Sometimes when I put my computer to sleep it wakes up right away because the mouse wakes it up. Cleaning made no difference.

I was so angry that My mouse keeps moving but unlit i found this Video and Helped me a lot. And i Ripped off my Mouse pad because i was angry and thought so i have to but Buy a New one

fixed ma mouse thank bro

Will you be making more videos?

Rebooting worked😂😂

weird for me that none of these work, i tried everything but failed, i use a laptop

I found out my ps4 controller connected to the pc using a charger mess up my mouse, if I move L3 it messes it up. If I remove the charger and put it back in, then it fixes it as long as I don't move L3. Thanks for your help anyways

I did all the step you did but it still moving

if all of this doesnt solve your problem try to wash your mousepad or change your mousepad

Thanks for everithing. I change to another usb port and works. hope helps
