What to do if Touchpad Moving the Cursor by Itself?
My laptop touchpad keeps moving the cursor by itself even when I am not touching it, which makes typing and clicking very difficult. This happens randomly during normal use, and I have already tried cleaning the touchpad and adjusting settings, so I need help figuring out why the cursor drifts on its own and how to fix it.

Press Win + X, select Device Manager. Expand Mice and other pointing devices, right-click your touchpad (e.g., Synaptics, ELAN, HID-compliant), and choose Uninstall device. Restart your PC—Windows will reinstall it automatically. If that doesn't help, download the latest Windows 11-compatible driver directly from your laptop manufacturer's support page and install it manually.
