Mouse is moving erratic in the secondary monitor

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I'm using Multiplicity to control the laptop from the desktop since many years. The desktop is a Windows 10 workstation, while the laptop (secondary) is a Windows 11 notebook. Everything was fine since this morning then starting the laptop I found that I cannot use it because the mouse cursor is moving erratic on the screen. Yesterday was fine, this morning I didn't found a way to bring it back to its working state.

The laptop itself is working fine. Moreover, controlling it as KVM (full screen in the workstation monitor) is also fine, but when moving the mouse to laptop's screen (seamless control) gives this impossible movement of the mouse cursor.

I uploaded a movie file to YouTube.

In the left is laptop's screen and in the right is the primary monitor (desktop) with laptop controlled as KVM. Images ar speaking for themselves.

Since yesterday, no update was happening with the laptop, nor with the desktop.

 

Any solution, please?

I just want to add that the wrong behavior fixed after restarting the workstation (primary). Usually, I don't restart it as its always on being accessed also trough a VPN.

 

I don't delete the thread because some other can experience the same problem.

I've found the issue primarily related to the CPU / Disk / Network being at >90% on the secondary machine. Often times the utilization in task manager should Microsoft OneDrive Sync Service or Microsoft Windows Search Indexer being a main offender. Pausing OneDrive Sync bring CPU, Disk, Network back and Multiplicity works as expected.
