Hello,
the mouse cursor goes randomly to the top right or bottom left of the screen, not allowing user to resist until it randomly lets go.
I have found similar posts on Google but all without a solution, and then I realized something was overlooked:
Beyond the standard rollback driver, try external usb mouse etc. (all of which failed, also in my case) >> No one mentioned the existence or lack of a pointing stick in the keyboard . The laptop I'm having a problem with (Toshiba Portege Z30, Windows 10), has one! and I completely forgot about it, because i never use it LOL.

Long story short - it seems the pointing stick allows full or some control over the mouse cursor when this happens, and therefore - I think this is the hardware item to disable in order to kill this problem in my case. Only question is - How the hell can I disable it?
Thanks in advance!
