Cursor keeps teleporting onto the Notifications tab

Randomly, my cursor will suddenly teleport onto the Notifications tab on the very bottom right of the screen. At first, I thought this was an issue with Onedrive as there was a notification that the Onedrive storage was full, but this was not the case as it will teleport my cursor even when there are no notifications. I turned notifications off but the issue persists. This is not an issue with my mouse as this problem occurred with two of my mice and I have restarted my computer multiple times over a few day period and the problem keeps persisting. It is very annoying. I have a video that shows exactly what's happening. The problem occurs at 0:22, 0:46, 1:09, and 1:35. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbjmOEkQu8U&ab_channel=Keknia

 

Hi Connor. I'm Greg here to help.

I understand the cursor is jumping randomly in WIndows 10.

Try these fixes:

2) Go over Windows using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account to replace yours which may be corrupted. Then if necessary continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll post back detailed results then I may know what to suggest next, if necessary.
