cursor not placing properly and not highlighting text to edit
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. Nothing works. I assume this problem has been caused by some software update that Microsoft passed along to my computer, because there has been no other change to my computer.
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.
