Mouse begins experiencing random delays and floating effects.
Mouse begins experiencing random delays and floating effects.
I discovered the same issue the person shared on 2019: https://forums. It’s happening to me too, starting after a few hours of sitting at the PC and only occurring in games. On the desktop it doesn’t happen. I’m wondering if there’s any reason for this, why does it occur? I also want to mention that two months ago I replaced some components and performed a Windows reset. The best part is that once the PC mouse sensitivity is fixed after the reset, it returns to normal, but then it starts again after a few hours, repeating the cycle in every game. It seems to happen consistently across all titles.
There are three methods that could assist in identifying what happens during the floaty feeling:
Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free).
Utilize all three but only one at a time.
Launch each tool window, keep it open, and adjust its position to monitor your PC activity.
Initially observe without gaming. Then start a game while keeping the tool visible. Play normally but check the tool window for any shifts when the mouse feels delayed or "floaty". Again, observe once the mouse returns to normal.
It may take some experimentation to understand what changes occur during the issue.
To spot potential issues, search for background processes initiating updates, backups, or simply "connecting".
Task Scheduler might be activated, launching an application or utility.

You can also check Reliability History/Monitor for any error codes, warnings, or informational events linked to the mouse behavior changes.
This tool is user-friendly and the timeline view could help uncover patterns.
I will keep the computer running and inform you when this issue arises.
So far, nothing is occurring.
Edit. What if I use a new disk? After purchasing an M2 SSD, I transferred all my games to this drive, which had several overheating comments on its page. Could this be the cause?
i ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM coming up about a year ago. try deleting all your DPI except one and press the DPI button, you'll notice it works normally for just a few seconds, meaning it's possible but no one has found a solution yet.
the only thing I notice in resource monitor is when i toggle dpi (that's when the mouse movement feels normal for a few seconds) shellExperienceHost disappears from the top of my cpu list for a moment then comes back. it would disappear when i click the dpi button again that's one pattern so far.
Consider using the built-in Windows troubleshooters; they might identify and resolve issues.
Next, run "dism" and "sfc /scannow".

Don't need to take any action—just observe what other programs might be active.
Also review using Process Explorer.
I attempted the built-in solutions, but now it seems to require a Windows service running in the background, and I'm unsure which one it is.
Start with safemode (60) and observe Process Explorer (or another tool) closely.
Restart normally (144) without altering any settings. Continue playing while monitoring Process Explorer.
It might be simpler to begin with Task Manager and utilize its menu options: Processes, Performance, App history, etc.
Watch for the small upward or downward arrows in the column headers when selecting a column—this indicates sorting is possible.
You should be able to identify any changes related to the "floaty feeling."
