Mouse movement freezes often

Post by MxSmith »

XMBC Version: 2.20.5
Installed or Portable version: Installed
Windows Version: At work, 2 devices with 11 and Windows 10 extended support Mouse Information (brand/model): Both Kensington Orbit with scroll ring M01555 (2button) and Logitech Trackman (4button) T-BC21 and on one device, the native touchpad ACPI\VEN_SYN&DEV_3072
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc): 8th Gen core i7 and 7th gen core i5, 16/24GB RAM
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): No, always been an issue
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): No, always been an issue
How long have you used XMBC?: Since June 2024
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: British English

Clear description of the problem - try and include as much information as possible, including what button and mappings you are having problems with (if applicable).:

Quite sure this bug is affecting both my work devices. One is PC with 7th Gen i5 running Windows 10 Pro Extended Security Updates, and other is laptop Running Windows 11 Pro. My home device might be similarly affected but I don't boot into Windows at home very often, so I'll check and report back. XMBC is installed with minimal settings on one device, just swapping left and right click. On the other device, same but also 4th mouse button, when pressed, changes movement to scroll.

At a rate of maybe once or twice a minute, the movement of the mouse pointer will freeze pause hang for about 1 second and resume. It is more valuable to me to have a slightly wonky xmbc than not have it at all, so I've ignored the issue as much as possible. Nothing seen in event log.
