    Cursor jumping in Word


    OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 HomeVersion 10.0.19043 Build 19043Other OS Description Not AvailableOS Manufacturer Microsoft CorporationSystem Name DESKTOP-OR71EARSystem Manufacturer HPSystem Model HP 250 G6 Notebook PCSystem Type x64-based PCSystem SKU 2SY44ES#ABUProcessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2901 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)BIOS Version/Date Insyde F.21, 04/07/2017

    When I enter text when editing or creating Word documents, the cursor keeps jumping haphazardly to different places in he document. It isnt always easy to see where the newly entered text is. (This is also happening now while I am trying to write this message).

    Any suggestions what I can do to prevent this ?

    Hello @PostmanPuzzled.

    Try this:

    1. Click and open settings
    2. Go to Devices > Mouse > Additional Mouse Options
    3. Enter the Pointer Options tab and then tick the box next to Hide pointer while typing


    I hope this helps..
