I have no idea what is causing this problem but it is relatively recent with me and highly annoying and inconvenient! I tried updating Office, I tried the other things suggested online.

Eaton10 Experiencing the same problem for the last 2 or 3 days after a Windows update.
Whenever My mouse is hovering a text area of any software, cur cursor becomes inaccurate (off on the right).
I wonder if there's a solution that doesn't involve uninstalling an app because i don't want to uninstall Visual studio, Word, etc, basically all my software.

  Hello, I cannot keep the cursor where I need it. It goes back several lines up. Same when I want to highlight some text, it goes somewhere else prior and highlight something else.
  
  What is the solution for this problem?
  
  Thanks.
