Moving To The Left When Typing? (Causes)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cursor may be moving to the left when typing for many reasons. It may be because of outdated mouse drivers, outdated systems, interference of internal programs, or malfunctioning systems. You can determine the specific problem with the computer by having a repair technician check the machine components for faults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is why your cursor may move to the left while typing in details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-outdated-mouse-or-touchpad-driver\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Outdated_Mouse_Or_Touchpad_Driver\"><\/span><strong>1. Outdated Mouse Or Touchpad Driver<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers facilitate the relationship between your computer and its hardware components. A mouse or touchpad driver controls how your mouse works with your computer, and if there is an issue with this driver, you may start experiencing problems with your cursor while typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-outdated-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Outdated_System\"><\/span><strong>2. Outdated System<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Old laptops may not have effective palm rejection technologies, making the touchpad prone to accidental touches while typing. Consider upgrading your computer to enjoy maximum functionality and the newest features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-interference-of-internal-programs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Interference_Of_Internal_Programs\"><\/span><strong>3. Interference Of Internal Programs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When there is interference between programs on your laptop, your computer software may start misbehaving, resulting in the cursor moving to the left while typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-malfunctioning-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Malfunctioning_System\"><\/span><strong>4. Malfunctioning System<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A system malfunction is the failure of critical computer components. It can also play an active role in the cursor moving to the left issue on your laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"my-cursor-keeps-moving-to-the-left-when-typing-solutions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_Cursor_Keeps_Moving_To_the_Left_When_Typing_Solutions\"><\/span><strong>My Cursor Keeps Moving To the Left When Typing (Solutions)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These potential fixes could help you eliminate the problem on your laptop. Since it\u2019s difficult to diagnose this issue correctly as a layman, I guess you don\u2019t have many options other than to alternate between these do-it-yourself fixes until you find the one that works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some fixes that typically work when your cursor starts misbehaving when you type. While I recommend trying each in this order, feel free to jump to any that you think will work.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/My-Cursor-Keeps-Moving-To-the-Left-When-Typing-Solutions.jpg\" alt=\"My Cursor Keeps Moving To the Left When Typing (Solutions)\" class=\"wp-image-3003\" width=\"482\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/My-Cursor-Keeps-Moving-To-the-Left-When-Typing-Solutions.jpg 910w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/My-Cursor-Keeps-Moving-To-the-Left-When-Typing-Solutions-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/My-Cursor-Keeps-Moving-To-the-Left-When-Typing-Solutions-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"restart-your-laptop\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restart_Your_Laptop\"><\/span><strong>Restart Your Laptop<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Restarting your laptop is an often underestimated fix that works most of the time. If your computer suddenly starts behaving this way, a restart should fix it. Restarting your system refreshes it by closing all unnecessary apps and caches, which may improve your cursor issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"update-your-mouse-touchpad-and-keyboard-driver\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_Your_Mouse_Touchpad_And_Keyboard_Driver\"><\/span><strong>Update Your Mouse, Touchpad, And Keyboard Driver<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might need to update your drivers to get your cursor back to normal. Running this update is necessary because it may be outdated or corrupted. Since this is an issue with your cursor, you should update the Mouse, Touchpad, and Keyboard Drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can update the drivers automatically or manually through your device manufacturer&#8217;s website. If you update manually, ensure you download a compatible version, or the drivers won&#8217;t work with your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"re-adjust-the-touchpad-sensitivity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-Adjust_The_Touchpad_Sensitivity\"><\/span><strong>Re-Adjust The Touchpad Sensitivity<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The touchpad sensitivity controls the speed of the cursor on your screen. If it moves too fast, then controlling it won&#8217;t be easy. Consider adjusting the sensitivity to a moderate scale that doesn\u2019t move uncontrollably each time you contact the touchpad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the steps below to adjust your touchpad sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Open the start menu and go to settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select &#8216;Devices&#8217; and click on &#8216;Mouse.&#8217;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust the cursor speed to a suitable level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjusting the touchpad sensitivity should prevent your cursor from moving to the left while typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"don-t-hide-your-pointer-while-typing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Hide_Your_Pointer_While_Typing\"><\/span><strong>Don&#8217;t Hide Your Pointer While Typing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many users have reported how hiding their cursor while typing usually leads to it moving left while they type. If you\u2019ve enabled the setting always to hide your cursor while typing, <strong>you should consider disabling it to see if it fixes your issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to your device settings and select the mouse option. If the pointer options tab is checked, uncheck it. Hopefully, that should fix the problem with your cursor; if not, try the other fixes in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disable-touchpad\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Touchpad\"><\/span><strong>Disable Touchpad<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may touch the touchpad unconsciously while typing because laptop touchpads are close to your keyboard. You can quickly fix this by <strong>disabling your touchpad.<\/strong> Disabling your touchpad will make it irresponsible to touch, and your cursor won&#8217;t move around in ways you don&#8217;t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the catch is that you can only disable your touchpad on particular laptops. If your laptop has a switch to disable the touchpad, you can use it to prevent unnecessary movement while typing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"troubleshoot-in-clean-boot-state\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Troubleshoot_In_Clean_Boot_State\"><\/span><strong>Troubleshoot In Clean Boot State<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the clean boot state to diagnose and solve complex Windows problems. If the cursor has worked correctly before, consider starting your computer in a clean boot state to see if it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"consider-a-mouse-surface\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_A_Mouse_Surface\"><\/span><strong>Consider A Mouse Surface<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of your mouse&#8217;s surface is vital to the functionality of the mouse. Users have reportedly seen significant improvement in cursor issues when they upgrade the quality of their mouse surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider alternating between different colors and qualities of mouse surfaces to the one that works best for your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"run-the-hardware-troubleshooter\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Run_The_Hardware_Troubleshooter\"><\/span><strong>Run The Hardware Troubleshooter<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest ways to detect and fix issues on your computer is by running the hardware troubleshooter on Windows 10. Go to the control panel from the start option to run the troubleshooter. Navigate to troubleshooting and run the hardware and devices troubleshooter. When the process is complete, restart your laptop to see if the problem is solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"update-windows\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_Windows\"><\/span><strong>Update Windows<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Update-Your-Windows-Laptop.jpg\" alt=\"Update Your Windows Laptop\" class=\"wp-image-2807\" width=\"382\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Update-Your-Windows-Laptop.jpg 910w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Update-Your-Windows-Laptop-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techfixify.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Update-Your-Windows-Laptop-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Your cursor may be moving to the left because you are using an<strong> outdated Windows operating system version. <\/strong>Consider upgrading to a newer version of the Windows operating system to get your computer back to normal again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install-3rd-party-freeware-touchfreeze\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_3rd-Party_Freeware_Touchfreeze\"><\/span><strong>Install 3rd-Party Freeware: Touchfreeze<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/touchfreeze.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Touchfreeze<\/a> is a freeware that automatically disables the touchpad anytime you are typing.
