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

Im using a wireless MS KB/mouse with the MS mouse and KB center, and my mouse STILL can't catch up to Windows. Seems to happen more on websites. Everything is updated, drivers, etc....

Just tried another USB2 dongle (instead of 3 ^^) on the Logitech mouse, doesn't change a thing..

I have just bought a docking station which plugs in to the mains and then to my laptop via USB-C. This seems to have fixed the problem for me . (I used to use a similar device which was not powered )

For me, it was Microsoft's Control flow guard (CFG) !!!! I've been fighting with this for over a year, and I've finally figured it out. It may be something else for you, but this solved it for me. My WIRELESS mouse is so responsive now that I need to relearn how to use it. I'd become accustomed to the lag. I hope this helps someone else! Give it a try. Go to Settings > Search "Exploit Protection" Disable Control flow guard (CFG) for affected apps or processes.

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.
