Sorry---apparently following up my own thread bounces it to the top of the line. Unintentional.

Hallo!
This has gone on long time, and makes it difficult to work.
I've tried reloading Win 10, problem persists; guess it is hardware.
1) The mouse pointer essentially acts up at times. Effect is as if I were going to the lower left of the desktop and clicking. Usually gets me the search window. This can happen as often as three times a second; can go on for 15 minutes.
2) All these have motion glitches: any video, any typing, movement of pointer. Watching a music vid, the picture will hang up, like, one beat out of four. Not the audio.
What I type appears, waits, catches up all at once. Mouse pointer stops its motion same as videos.
I've asked around forums; no one ever suggested the video card. Believe me, I'm a for-dummies type; but the question did finally occur to me:
Could this be caused by the "video card?" I don't even know if that's a removable part of a laptop. Or if it is the same thing as a GPU.
Is it something that can be replaced (by me, no soldering), or reprogrammed or updated?
Thank you!
