Hi

So im having a issue with my mouse cursor lagging/stuttering for a few seconds randomly does not happen a lot but it does happen and only lasts for a few seconds so far not been watching a video ir playing a game when it happens so cant see if other tasks continue as normal when it happens

Updated graphics card drivers and checked windows update & it says no updates available.

I have the following hardware on my PC

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 TI

Motherboard:

Base board manufacturer: HP

Baseboard Product 8876

Baseboard Version 11

BIOS Version/Date: AMI F,11, 27/08/2021

    I am having a similar problem. However, it seems to happen only when the PC is writing files to any disc. The mouse is pretty close to unusable during this process, which really causes me productivity issues. It seems as though it can only do one task at a time. Mine is a brand new machine with Windows 11 OEM. It's very fast at what it does, has 32 Gb of RAM and an 8 Gb video card, but it can only do one thing at a time. There must be some setting that can let it multitask better. Hoping for a solution.

    Are you running SSD or spindles as your storage drive that windows is installed on?

    I have both an SSD as my main (C:) drive, and HDD drives. Happens no matter which drive it is writing to. I had this same problem with a Windows 10 machine that I bought last fall, and I returned it after the manufacturer was unable to find a solution, so I don't think it's a problem unique to Windows 11. My 3 year old machine works like a dream, and I can't figure out where the difference lies . . .

    Thanks for your response. I am running an SSD as drive C and a spindle for D.

    That said when I took my mouse apart I found a substanial amount of debris in and around the left button switch. I used some compressed air and alcohol to clean it. It has been fine for a couple of weeks now.

    Why don't you just try a different OS now or check it outside of Windows? If it goes back to working fine outside of Windows 11 then its related to Windows 11.

    But, applications should be coded to not block the UI thread. Eg, networking isn't supposed to block, delay, or otherwise mess with the UI. This is good programming. If an application does it then they hired a bucket head to do the work or the code they used doesn't work very well lol. Of course, I can point to various software around that does block the UI thread so there are devs who do this stupid thing. But, that's one application, not all or multiple of your daily bunch.
