Question Logitech M510 mouse jumps around screen and freezes

[kep55]

My Logitech M510 wireless mouse with Unifying Software jumps and freezes more than a real mouse being tracked by a hungry cat. I also have a Logitech MK320 (mn 820-008582) which works fine. I moved the dongle from being directly on the pc to the end of a 3 foot long USB extension cord in an attempt to move it farther from the pc and the TCL TV/monitor. Also put fresh batteries in. The PC is running win10 w/16GB RAM and an Athlon 5400+ CPU running at 2.8 GHz (slightly O/C).
I've tried using the mouse on a matte black lapdesk, on the arm of a couch, on cardboard, and every other surface in the room. None make any difference. When it does work, the cursor will move far faster than just moving the mouse. Any ideas what's up? Any resolutions?

Do you have this issue on another, donor, platform?

Was that the problem?

Nope. I'm going to try another unifying dongle. Just found one.
