    all of a sudden my mouse will start jumping all over my desktop. when it does this any of the icons it passes over become open/active. I have had to twice use system restore to go back to earlier configurations. I have now disabled auto-updates for windows 10. One of the things I have noticed is that it appears that the HD seems to be VERY active when the mouse starts this behavior. It doesn't occur on boot up, usually takes place after running for maybe ten to twenty minutes. I have done Malware scans, two different Virus scans, and ran "Tweeking.com - windows repair" first. THEN did system restore to a version from last month, (before the last two updates.

    Does it happen in Safe Mode? Have you uninstalled mouse drivers and Restarted comp and let Windows find them?

    Is this a wired or wireless mouse?

    Have you tried a different mouse? Made sure there weren't any dust bunnies or hairs in the optical sensor cavity?

    When my mouse starts behaving oddly, it is usually due to a hair or dust in the optical cavity. Icons becoming active suggests a sticky mouse button or weak/broken button return spring.

    Tried different mouse, and I clean the trackball often, no dust or hairs on the lense.

    Did you try my earlier suggestions?
    Have you checked in W10 > Control Panel > Mouse > uncheck Enhance Pointer Precision? Uncheck Automatically move Pointer to the Default button ....?
    Is the mouse cable and connections in good order?

    I've seen many 'fixes' for your problem but obviously they do not work for you. How old is your CMOS battery? Make sure you have ALL W10 updates installed and if the cursor continues to jump around - you may need to do a Reset in Recovery (Settings > Update and Security).

    At this point, it seems to have been fixed. AND I am reluctant to make ANY updates or changes for now.
    So I am marking this as resolved
    because I don't want to get yelled at for leaving it open....

    Updates are for your safety. You need to do them.
