If so, please post a comment to this answer, and I will update it. By the time of anyone reading this, they may have already fixed it.

#Mouse cursor lagging drivers#

I also suggest FIRST trying to update to the newest drivers at the time of reading this, THEN downgrading. I suggest simply grabbing the 'previously released' drivers. (Intel i7-2630QM on Windows 8 64-bit)Ĭheck which drivers you need on this page. Rolling back to these drivers (15.28.) worked for me. (By that, I mean that they are connected to either the motherboard video output ports (desktop), or (in my case) any laptop video output) And it only happens when multiple screens are connected to the Intel Graphics chip. This doesn't sound like much, but it happens every time the cursor changes (even if it's to just move the mouse somewhere else, and accidentally make it cross a window border from where the resize cursor shows etc).ĭevDoc's answer made it clear to me that it was the Intel Graphics drivers. When crossing the window border, the cursor changes into a 'resize window' cursor for a short while, making the cursor lag. For instance, if I keep hovering from and to a textfield (and the cursor changes into a caret and then back to a mouse), it stops for 200 milliseconds while it changes the icon.Īn example is if I follow the mouse in the pattern shown by the arrows below. The issue itself (lag with the mouse) happens whenever the cursor icon changes. This basically leads me to conclude that the issue is not hardware-prone, and is not based on the operating system itself, rather the drivers or components that follow with it. I also installed the latest version of Skype that just released (Skype 6 and Skype for Metro).

That is until after 4 or 5 months when I decided to install the RTM driver of my Intel graphics chip, and the latest Nvidia driver. Then, when we all switched to Windows 8, they had the mouse problem and I didn't. Two of my friends bought the same machine, and are experiencing the same issue. But don't 'say nothing' when there is clearly a problem - we are staring at it, so we won't think it was our imagination just because you say nothing.I'm experiencing a newly arrived problem lately that frustrates me a lot.

If we are doing something wrong - tell us that, and tell us how to do it right. Guys we're not expecting you to be Perfect, but talk to us, please.

We are still exploring our Remote Support options, and much as we want Splashtop to be our choice, we have this awful dread that our support of 200+ and-growing computers is based on a Support Structure that is overwhelmed, out of touch, or doesn't care. What is worrying is that this (slow mouse problem, for example) is a really clear problem (a dot on the screen, a 'mouse trail') and no-one from Splashtop commented, either to say it was there, it was being worked on, it is fixed, it was caused by, etc. That applies from and to a range of internet connection points, so it is unlikely to be caused by the connections at either end. All my remote connections will last for a minute or so, then drop. Now I have an 'infection' of dropped connections.

I am convinced that no settings were changed by me.

It affected progressively more and more of my client computers. I suddenly had the remote screens show a dot and a mouse trail as I described.
