When you enter Device Manager, press the Tab key to switch to devices list, use the down arrow key to move to Mice and other pointing devices , and then click the right arrow key to expand it.

Press Enter to open it. When you are asked " How do you want to search for updated driver software ", choose Search automatically for updated driver software and press Enter. Then Windows will search for the latest drive software for your device and wait for it to complete. After you expand Mice and other pointing devices and select your mouse device in Device Manager , press Enter to open its Properties. Press Tab for a few times until the General is selected, use right arrow key to go to Drive r and then press Tab to choose Roll Back Driver.

Hit Enter to go ahead. If the button is grayed out, move to another way. Then you will be asked " Why are you rolling back ", use the Tab key to highlight the question and use the up and down arrow keys to select one reason. And then use the Tab key again to go to Yes and press Enter. This eliminates any temporary glitches that may never happen again. USB technology is very reliable these days, but it can still be finicky.

So unplug your mouse, wait a second and then plug it in again. You may also want to try a different port, which sometimes also solves the issue.

In addition, if your mouse is connected through a docking station or hub, try connecting it directly to the computer or unplug the hub and reconnect it. Lastly, in terms of connections, try disconnecting all other devices except the mouse and see if that helps.

The easiest way to do this is by either trying a different mouse with the computer in question, or plugging the problematic mouse into another mouse-supporting device. Most laptops have a large touchpad below the keyboard and many users who use an external mouse or type a lot find it distracting. It can happen that you accidentally touch it with your thumb while using the keyboard, causing the pointer to jump.

This is why most laptops have a toggle to disable the touchpad. If you have no external mouse connected and the touchpad has been disabled, you may not see your mouse pointer.

The good news is that this takes just a few seconds to fix.
