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.

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.

    Two root causes to this issue I found.

    1. touch screen is going bad.
    2. hitting touch pad mistakenly

    Of course applephiles will advise you to just buy an apple device.

    I agree about the absurdity of having to repair a new $900 PC. I used to work for Apple and the biggest difference I saw between Mac users and PC users is that the PC users are all proud that they know how to fix their PC's while the Mac users aren't having to fix their Macs.

    makes me feel a teeny bit better, since all 3 of my HP comps have done it. I had 2 dells.  back during that timeframe, I wasn't pleased with the running of them, but since I have gotten better. this one is close to a 900 dollar comp.  This one and last comp is Windows 10.  I have just sat down and attempt tp disconnect the touchpad like others are professing ..Wish me luck my friend!!!
