Hello,

My mouse tends to lag a bit after every windows update I install. If you have ever experienced your mouse lagging after opening Chrome (when it has a lot of tabs), then you know what this problem looks like. Except what's so unusual about this problem is that it tends to go away after updating graphics card drivers. I say tends to because almost every single time it has worked but the most recent time.

What could be the cause of this mouse stuttering? To clarify, I encounter this problem after updating windows pretty much every single time. I have restarted my PC to see if it occurs just after regular restarts or shutdowns, but that's not the case. In other words, if my mouse is not lagging and is working as usual, then a restart does not cause the problem to come back again. The few times when I do not have a graphics card update available after a windows update, the mouse lag problem tends to go away after having my PC opened and running for a while. I will say that I do a couple of restarts as well just to check if restarting fixes the problem or not. Could the problem be because my PC has to load every single tab when Chrome opens up for the first time? Why would that only occur after windows updates and not just regular restarts? Why does updating the graphics driver and doing a couple of restarts afterwards fix the problem? Maybe it's just a correlation does not equal to causation type of thing where I could be doing something else other than updating the graphics driver.

Thanks for the help,

My specs are: i5-6500, MSI RX480 8GB, 16GB ram, hyper 212 evo cpu cooler, 600 (650?)W PSU EVGA, 250gb samsung evo, 1TB WD HDD. My mouse is the Logitech g502 proteus core (the 2013 version I think).
