Is anyone else getting an intermittent mouse stutter with Windows 10? I can't pin down exactly what is causing it but every so often (maybe every hour or so) as I'm moving my mouse it'll stop for around half a second and then skip forward to the next point in it's path.

The whole system is still responsive, it's not a complete system freeze as any music or video playing doesn't freeze with the mouse.

Seems to occur more while booting up (everything is on my SSD so it's not HDD thrashing). Problem occurs with or without setpoint installed. Didn't occur on Windows 7.

Running:
Windows 10 Pro clean install.
Logitech Performance MX Mouse
Setpoint 6.67.82 / Driver 5.90.41

Anyone encountered this or have any ideas?

I am getting this too, no idea why though, and its damn annoying!

Using a cheapo wired mouse, nothing fancy.
 
Interesting that someone else has the same issue, Googling really seems to draw a blank. Too much noise in the results from a Windows 8/8.1 bug which was supposedly fixed in a windows update, tried to install that update on windows 10 but it refused as it wasn't for the correct OS, not really sure it was the same issue either.

Tried installing the chipset drivers and intel management engine drivers off the gigabyte website for my board since they seem to be newer than what comes with Windows 10. They might have helped a little bit actually, although I think the stutter is still there. I'll report back with more testing.

Anyone else with information or bug reports / forum threads would be great though.
 
I *think* it's a USB issue. I've got a Corsair K95, and when I've had it set to rainbow wave mode the animation pauses and stutters in line with the mouse's pauses and stutters, and sound seems to be disputed too (all the sound devices I use are via USB).

Nothing on the display pauses or stutters though.

EDIT: The issue hasn't cropped up for a few weeks, and the only thing I've done is update to the full Windows 10 release and then do a clean/refresh of it where it removes all data and files.

That's interesting that the keyboard coordinates with the mouse. I'll need to see if I notice any missed keystrokes. The only other USB device that I use is a 360 pad and I think that is working fine.

I might try checking my bios to see if I can run all of my ports in USB 2.0 mode since I don't have any devices that'd make use of the USB 3.0 transfer speeds.

The two drivers that I installed last night haven't solved the problem.

Does anyone know how to trigger the stuttering or is it just at random intervals for everyone?

Oh... and as I moved the mouse to hit the reply button it's happened again in a little spate of stutters and now it's gone :/.

Edit: Also noticing that I can't keep my PC in S3 suspend (sleep to memory) either. It just wakes at random intervals. Wake alarms are disabled in Windows power options, wake on lan is disabled in bios, I can only assume that one of my devices is sending some kind of signal... possibly also USB related.
 
Yes. It's one of the /many/ issues I'm having with my upgrade.

My mouse will go from being smooth as silk, and then have a funny five minutes, where it seems to jerk across the screen at like 2 FPS. Then after 30s it clears up, only to do the same thing later.

Never had any problems with win7.

More problematic is that games will freeze for a second or two every few mins. Again, this is new for Win10.
 
I would be surprised if a refresh install of Windows 10 doesn't sort out these problems for you. The USB stuttering has gone away since I did one on my PC.
 
Has anyone else had the stuttering in the last day? 2 nights ago I decided to move my mouse receiver onto the VIA USB3 ports on my motherboard and the stuttering didn't seem to occur all of yesterday.

Coincidentally Microsoft also released update KB3081438 which was a large cumulative update on the same night I switched over ports. Today I switched my mouse back to the Intel ports and I've not had the mouse stutter all day... so fingers crossed the issue has been fixed.

I'm not sure I can be bothered with a refresh install at the moment. I'll just live with the bug if I can't figure it out (assuming it comes back).
 
Almost 100% certain that I've fixed this issue.

No idea why but putting my mouse's unifying receiver onto the extension cable hub thingy and having that on my desk has removed the stutter.

I've never had to use it in the 3 years that I've owned the mouse (the mouse even works from across the room), but perhaps I've changed something around my case or desk that has caused interference.

I've not encountered the issue for around a week now.
 
My theory is that win10 is putting usb ports into low power mode or something like that.

Because there is no reason that, as happened to me, the mouse/kb/receiver work perfectly in all ports under win7, then only work in one or two ports in win10.

I'm still having loads of problems with my wireless kb/mouse. Either it stops working completely and the pc needs to be hard reset, or the kb sends the same key over and over for a few seconds and then stops, or the mouse is erratic... you name it. None of this ever happened in 7, and I'm sure the hardware itself is not the issue. Because it immediately happened on upgrading, and that is more than just coincidence.

Anyway, upgrading mobo firmware atm in preparation for clean install. As I want to see if it breaks activation :p

I have actually had the same problem with Windows 8/8.1.
 
My wired Microsoft Intellimouse from 200? still keeps plodding along. The only reason I could upgrade it would be for gaming however it has always worked spectacularly well and iI am loath to fix something if it ain't broke.

Similarly my cherry keyboard of similar vintage, it ain't pretty but it works. I become attached to my input devices as that is my 'human interface' to the machine.

I expect when Win 10 and proprietary drivers mature, it will be sorted. Maybe with the recent concentration on touch as an interface, with 8/8.1 and 10, other input devices suffered a bit.
