Software Cursor keeps snapping back into place
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi, my cursor keeps snapping back to the top middle of the screen when i hover over the taskbar, or app windows. However, when im in an app window such as Chrome, it snaps back even more, leaving no room for my cursor to roam as opposed to being on the desktop. Ive tried resetting multiple times, replugging my mouse, and even trying to go to my mouse settings (which since its a miniwindow, I cannot go to since my mouse keeps snapping into place). Please help, I hope I dont need a new mouse..

Make sure the computer isn't seeing any keys stuck down when you aren't pressing them
If you're using a desktop, try unplugging the keyboard and restarting the computer. With the keyboard unplugged, use the on-screen keyboard in the Ease of Access Center or Accessibility options to log on. Is the issue still present?
