Cursor is a small shape that indicates where anything that is typed by the user will appear. If there is a problem with cursor, you may find that it jumps anywhere when you type and makes the texts without order. It can cause very serious problem to user’s work, study and entertainment.
The cause of this problem is complicated. A cursor is related to a mouse or touchpad, so the problem may be physically related to these two devices. At the same time, mouse setting in the system and registry files can also affect how it works. Even virus can cause the cursor to act miserably.
To troubleshoot this problem, we have to try step by step:
First, turn off your touchpad if you are using a laptop
This solution seems a bit silly, but not many users notice that they may unconciously bump the touchpad when they are typing. The cursor will jump to another place when you run into the touchpad and cause trouble to your typing. When you see such issue, make sure to check the touchpad first. It may settle the problem in the first moment.
Second, check the mouse setting in control panel.
Check from the control panel to see if the mouse setting is not correct. Sometimes, if the pointing moving speed is too fast, it may cause the cursor to jump, because any tiny move of mouse will cause cursor to move a long distance. Make sure to set pointing moving in a middle speed.
Third, clean registry errors with a registry cleaner
Virus and malware can corrupt the registry and cause numerous problems in your computer, including the cursor problem. Registry cleaner can detect and clean these registry issues for you. Any delay will lead to unimaginable more serious issues. Remember, 90% of the computer problems are caused by registry issues. So it is always recommended that you install a registry cleaner to consistantly protect your system.
