To all who have been having 'cursor jumps around while typing' problem. I had the same problem and had my Sony VAIO support team help me with it. They put in a fix that worked. Microsoft. It would be beneficial if you could contact Sony regarding this problem and access to the solution they put in place for me, since they seem to have found a solution to the problem.
Cursor jumps around while typing
In every application on my computer, my cursor jumps around while typing. I can not type fast because I have toconstantly bring the cursor back to where I am typing (just did it again right now). Something is wrong and needs to be fixed. I am not technical and have no idea how to fix or what forum this question belongs in. Please advise.

2018-08-30T16:46:52+00:00 Microsoft 365 (or Office 365) is just the subscription form of Microsoft Office. Instead of buying the program in disk form and loading it, you buy the subscription for a year and then update yearly. This is the first time I have used it - and I'm not savvy enough to know what, if any, problems it may be causing. All I know is that my desktop computer and my other laptop - all HP products - do not have this cursor problem.

2018-08-30T16:37:50+00:00 It's starting to sound like this is a Windows 10 problem … possibly a Microsoft 365 problem? I have the same problems on my Surface. I have tried downloading all the updates, but Windows updates are like exposing yourself purposely to the flu or malaria … you always end up worse afterwards! Very frustrating!

2018-08-30T05:54:59+00:00 New HP laptop. First time with Windows 10. Not happy. Especially while doing e-mail but elsewhere too my cursor keeps disappearing and reappearing in the middle of paragraphs above. Sometimes it just disappears and I have to click 2 or 3 times where I want it to be before it stays put. Also a word or a whole paragraph will highlight while I'm not even touching the keys and the next key stroke, whatever key it is, erases what has been highlighted. (Cursor just disappeared here.) I can't type fast and it is very aggravating to have to carefully keep my eye on the problem while writing e-mail or anything else. There has got to be a fix for this. Any solutions?
