Hey guys, I got a really cool new PC setup. It's an ASUS TUF x570 motherboard, a 5800x processor, a 6900xt graphics card, Windows 11, and yeah that's my whole rig right there. But lately when I try to play games or do stuff in windows, one of these programs keeps acting up all on its own. Like Valorant goes between my two screens and acts super small, or browsers get stuck in tiny corners at weird resolutions. I'm pretty sure it's the mouse problem because it happens sometimes when I click but I don't know exactly what it is. Here are all the apps that run right now: Google Drive, Wallpaper Engine, Riot Vanguard, Signal RGB, Discord, Kingston Dashboard, Lian Li Connect, Samsung Magician, Spotify, and G Hub Any thoughts or advice would be super helpful and thanks a lot in advance

I was playing Valorant just after I posted this on my screen while it's in full screen, then when I started moving around and clicked some things, the game changed its resolution and started moving strangely.

Hi everyone, I have a fairly new computer setup: Mobo: X570 ASUS TUF CPU: Ryzen 5800X GPU: 6900 XT OS: Windows 11 Recently when gaming or doing things in Windows the specific program I am working on sometimes goes crazy. When I click on it, things get weird like Valorant jumps between my two screens or turns into a tiny box. Some browser apps or other programs just fly off to one side instead of staying in their place. I think the problem might be related to my mouse because it happens sometimes when I click but not all the time. The apps I have running right now are Google Drive, Wallpaper Engine, Riot Vanguard, Signal RGB, Discord, Kingston Dashboard, Lian Li Connect, Samsung Magician, Spotify, and G Hub. Any thoughts or guesses would be super helpful. A little extra note: moving my mouse really fast while clicking seems to cause things to go wrong, but it doesn't move the windows around at all; instead, just some text gets selected. My mouse is a G502, keyboard is a Keychron Q1V2, and there is an external USB hub with a mic plugged in too, so if that matters please let me know.

All those apps... stop them from starting up when you turn on the PC. Check if the screen or mouse still works normally. If they don't, go back in step by step. Wait at least one full restart between adding each app to see which one causes it. Then try installing just one app at a time to find out exactly which one is causing the problem. Also, run the built-in Windows troubleshooting tools. These might fix things you didn't know about. Run "sfc /scannow" and "dism".

I checked all my apps and they are still broken. I ran the sfc /scannow tool, but it showed normal results. It happens all the time without a reason for me. Do you have any tips or more info? https://imgur.com/a/CPZe618 View: https://imgur.com/a/CPZe618

The more apps you open, the more often things break. Quit opening all those apps if you don't really need anything immediately.
