Wired Mouse

My wired mouse that is plugged into my laptop has suddenly started about from side to side a little and often jumps to the top of the page and even second screen - How can I fix this?

Hi,

open it up and clean out the hairs, fluff and crumbs.

Bit of cheese

Seriously though, turn it upside down and give it a good blow.  Also ensure its not inadvertently straying onto reflective surfaces.

I have opened it up and it is very clean inside - no fluf, hair etc.

I have also done a full virus check which had no threats.

Try another mouse

As it is a laptop, eliminate any issues with the trackpad (and pointing stick if fitted) which will also be active when you have the mouse plugged in.

I have a new one and the same thing happens that why I thought it might be something about settings of the laptop

What do your mouse settings tell you in Devices?
