Hi all,

What is the root cause of slow cursor speed?....Not the blinking speed, but
the left & right movement speed.

Seems like that has always been a precursor to a corrupted operating system
to me.

Any thoughts?

Lots of possible reasons for a slow cursor. Often it is related to the
video drivers. You can test this by reducing hardware acceleration in
Display Properties> Settings> Advanced> Troubleshoot. Move the slider way
down. May need to restart for the change to take effect. Test cursor
movement.

If there's no improvement, look for a different cause than video drivers.

If there's an improvement, move it back to where it was. Then try
reinstalling the display drivers. If updated drivers are available, may
want to give those a try instead.

If reinstalling display drivers (or installing new) did not help, you can
go back to hardware acceleration. Again, move the slider all the way down.
Test. Go back again and move it up a notch. Test again. Repeat until you
get as far as you can without the problem reappearing. Leave it this way
until an updated driver is released that might fix the problem.
