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.

    After the Windows 10 update on my Asus laptop T100T the cursor jumped all over the place when typing.

    I went to programmes in control panel and for Asus Smart Gesture I clicked repair. The OK several times.

    The problem seems now fixed.

    The Windows 10 update also changed some of my default programme settings

    I had this problem with my last laptop, but until recently, with this Asus laptop, didn't have it. I started noticing it again after the most recent update, and now it is really bad!  I am operating on Windows 10.  Please help!!!

    I also downloaded Touchfreeze.  It worked for a short time.  Now the problem is back and it is very very annoying and causes me a lot of extra work every time I have to type.  I so wish I could find a solution for this problem.

    It did it 6 times just typing this message.  Grrrrrr.

    I finally solved my jumping cursor by going into Control Panel (now called Settings), going to Devices, then Mouse & Touchpad, then Additional Actrions.  On that pop-up, under Click Pad Settings tab I checked the box that "Disabled internal pointing device when usb mouse is used..."
