You’ve probably already done this, but if you have an optical mouse, be sure the touchpad is disabled while the optical mouse is active. It’s somewhere in settings. Sometimes it automatically reverts to both being active and you have to do it again. It didn’t used to ever be a problem, but after some upgrades it became one.
Windows 10 totally crippled my main monster Dell computer, so we will try to rebuild it after our move is completed next month. In the meantime I have my iPad, clunky but functioning laptop (that I didn’t upgrade to Windows 10), and my iPhone.
Thank you for your thoughts. I had Norton go through the system today. They cleaned things up. They were able to navigate thru out where by I couldn’t. Just writing this short message the cursor cut out every five seconds. They think my mouse or keyboard is bad. I wonder if the keyboard just needs replacement or good cleaning.
I’m going to take both in to Office Depot this am, as that’s all I have here. It makes sense.

I cleaned my keyboard, and I went to settings pointer options and checked the Snap To dialog box. Some minor improvement but still the computer is going spastic.
Also started using a mouse pad instead of the sofa cushion. Minimal improvemtn.
Then I had this idea to SLOW DOWN THE SPEED OF THE CURSOR. I REDUCED it TO LIKE ONE THIRD SPEED.
And guess what the matter is fixed. Completely.
Thank you for your help.
