Does anyone have a the problem where your computer mouse "stops" while using it. Just for like 1 or 2 seconds.

I'm using an external mouse on my laptop. When I use the build-in mouse there's no problem at all.

I've done lots of research and tried a few things like updating all my drivers, uninstall the mouse and install it again. But the problem is still there.

Any idea what I can do to fix it?
 
Try a different mouse to help with troubleshooting. eg: Bluetooth mouse, wireless donge mouse and Wired mouse. Do they all have the same symptoms?
 
Tends to happen when the cpu load spikes to 100%, leave task manager open so you can see if that happens, if it does check which app it is.
 
I've done lots of things. Took me hours to try and sort it out.

I plugged the mouse directly into my laptop now (not through the USB Hub). No stuttering at all.

But why??? It is a USB 3 hub connected to the USB 3 port.

I've never trusted USB hubs.

Always plug in directly.
 
Assuming Windows, I've had this... For me it was a easily fixable by changing the USB Power Option setting.
So try this: Got to Control Panel, select Power Options, then go into the active plan via Change Plan Settings, and within that, Change Advanced Power Settings. You're looking for USB Settings -> USB selective suspend setting: setting. Make it disabled.
Unplug and replug your mouse. Problem should go away. Sometimes the setting doesn't take on boot or after a Windows upgrade. Then either reapply setting or move mouse/hub to a different usb slot.
If it's a faulty hub this won't help, but won't hurt either.
