Hello! My issue is as follows:
The Windows mouse cursor pops up in the center of the screen for a fraction of a second, seems to happen with random timing, once every several minutes. This happens mostly in source games, but in several others as well, such as Witness. The latest game where this happened was Afraid of Monsters.

I tried switching between fullscreen and windowed/borderless, disabling background apps one by one, and unplugging all gamepads and input devices save for KB+M.

I'm running Win10, all updates and drivers up to date.
Here's my CPU-Z report: https://pastebin.com/SzSYkEm3
I'd be much grateful for any advice as to how to begin solving this, as for now I'm stumped with how weird, and unlike anything I've encountered this is. Thanks!
