Basically, whenever I move my mouse in a window or program, the cpu usage of that program spikes significantly. I've also noticed that videos stutter a lot whenever i move my cursor as well. One thing I have noticed is that while using the touchpad does increase the cpu usage as well, it doesn't make videos stutter like my mouse does.


Things I have already tried:

Running an AV scan (nothing found)

Resetting Windows 10 (no difference)

Changing cpu priority to favour foreground apps over background apps and vice versa

Reinstalling mouse drivers

Updating my display driver

Disabling some services on startup

Unchecked the "let apps run in the background" option in privacy settings (this helped a bit)

sfc

Disabled Cortana and some other stuff

Changed mouse polling rate


Specs:

Acer Aspire A114-31
