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.

    thank-u soo much for your reply..I have been reading many questions regarding this issue...like U mentioned...disconnecting the touchpad seems to have corrected the problem for many, and it helped every time...I have a wireless mouse..I bought a GOOOD one when I had the second comp b4 this one..it is specifically for Windows 10...I'm going to do this...seems like when it's an 800 dollar Comp...one shouldn't have to do such...I  having to consider just sending it back and try some different than HP...Although Ive seen that many that have had this problem had different makes of computers...Sooooo I'm not alone..lol

    This is my third  3rd HP comp.  does this mean I have to contact HP for my cursor problem?  It too jumps around while I type.  

    If your computer is new; then, yes, contact HP support. The solution can also be specific to which operating system you are using; so, be specific when searching for help. The easiest solution for you may be to disable the touchpad and start using a wired or wireless mouse. That worked for me.
