I have been using this Windows desktop fine since this past December (2023). And starting last week, the mouse I had started lagging. So I tried a different mouse and that also started lagging on the computer. I have tried the following: Driver updates Windows 11 reinstall (with data save) Uninstalling mouse driver Updating Windows None of those worked. Any ideas would very much help! EDIT: Plug a wired mouse into your computer

Try turning off Window's animation effect - worked for me You just became my new favorite person. After all this time and all these answers, this one worked immediately . I could see the difference in movement as soon as the spinner stopped. No more hunting for just the right spot to grab a spreadsheet column/row... It's like a new machine. Holy... smoke. Thank you!

The USB2 thing hasnt worked. Been fine for the occasional usage over the last few days, but today its absolutely horrific

hmmm you might be on to something there...

It might aswell be a driver issue then, windows 11 has a mouse precision improvement thingy (that you can turn off) and windows 10 doesnt. if you reinstall windows you also get the older mouse drivers that don't have that. I however still had it in win 10 and it was caused by USB3.0 but every ones cause is different.

Why has Microsoft not fixed this yet? So many people have this issue. It's not a hardware issue, too many people have it. Fix it!

Yes, I have it. For me, If I plug my mouse in to the USB, that is not use wireless, I'm fine.
