It's 2026 now, but the problem still hasn't been solved.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4186277/cursor-lag-stuttering-when-using-igpu-in-windows-1

I am using a laptop with Intel Evo Core Ultra 5 125H, Intel Arc Graphics and no other dedicated GPU. OS is Windows 11 Home 25H2.

If I use zoom level 150%/200%, the cursor lag/stuttering occurs. The problem goes away if the zoom level is 100% on either screen.

Also, when zoom 150% is used, the cursor lag happens in different windows like Chrome browser and File Explorer but it does NOT happen if you just move your cursor on your static wallpaper without any window on top.

Please, fix it.
