Question

My mouse lags

Feb 15, 2018 4:14AM PST

Hi, recently my mouse started "lagging" whenever i start up my laptop. It's only the cursor on the screen that ( sometimes ) lags, it's slow and jumps around, everything else works normally tho, even when i'm playing games, the fps won't go down, but the mouse cursor will be slow and not responsive. What can i do?
it's an Asus F554L
CPU Intel Core i3-4030U, 1.9GHz
4GB of Memory and has Windows 10

My advice! IGNORE LAGS ON STARTUP. Not worth fixing.

As to the lag in games, the 4GB RAM is light. You want to be around 8GB and the next hit is the HDD speed. Change to SSD and that will make a big difference all around.

Why? HDD accesses can cause Windows to go single task and you see it in the mouse response times. More RAM and SSD help big time.
