Hey guys, I recently installed Windows 10 on my wife's computer. After reinstallin Minecraft for her, she started a new world and her mouse is doing something funky. When she moves it, the cursor continues to slowly drift across the screen after she stops moving the mouse. I have tested the mouse in other programs and on the desktop and I cannot reproduce the problem. It only happens in Minecraft. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Thanks!
I have the same problem. No issue on Windows 8.1, upgrade to Windows 10, now I have issues. The "Windows 10 Freebie" does NOT have this problem, no other game has this problem, it is only with Minecraft. I have used both the "built-in" JRE and the latest 64-bit JRE download. I have toggled Cinema mode, the problem persists regardless of how that setting is toggled.
...
Ok, under the category of "damned hardware making a liar out of me", I made sure "Enhance pointer precision" is OFF" (it was on) and at the moment, it isn't drifting on mine anymore, but it is still drifting on my wife's PC.
Now I dont know if this helps but I went into display settings and moved the slider "Change the size of texts, apps, and other items" all the way to the left. I havent had an issue since. This could be a coincidence but it was a BIG one if so.
Well, a clue! I'm using a touch-screen tablet (a 2-in-1), I play minecraft on the 2nd monitor where it is much larger. I read something about drifting and the person would touch their screen, it would stop drifting. Ok, so I play Minecraft as usual, touch my touch-screen monitor, and it stops drifting just before it switches out of Minecraft (The Game Menu screen). A moment of insight... I put Minecraft on the touch-screen, and Minecraft is rock solid!
In my case, this appears to be some sort of Windows 10 interaction with using a 2nd monitor (non-touch) with a touch-screen computer.
Could anyone else verify if this is their situation? I'm going to try turning off the touch-surface to see if that corrects the problem.
EDIT: The touch surface doesn't "turn off". MineCraft for Windows 10 (AKA MCPE4Win10) is rock solid. I didn't have this problem before the upgrade, and it appears to be related to the touch-screen on primary, Minecraft on the non-touch secondary.
The "workaround" is to change the compatibility of the shortcut you are using to access Minecraft, and set it "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
If you don't mind voting for this on MC-83488, it would be nice to simply have this problem fixed. The next launcher update might break it, and I'll have to remember how to do it all over again.
As long as the post has been bumped, I do note when I switched to the BETA launcher, I had to do it again, so I had to look up the bug report again. I also voiced the opinion this is still a bug that needs proper resolution rather than, "Oh, just do this thing that fixes it."
If anyone else has this difficulty, please vote on https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-83488, especially before they make the BETA launcher the NEW launcher, forcing everyone who's encountered this problem before to look up the solution again.

1. RIGHT CLICK DESKTOP
2. CLICK DISPLAY SETTINGS
3. CLICK THE OPTION UNDER SCALE AND LAYOUT
(change the size of text, apps, and other items)
4. CHANGE THIS TO 100%
5. ENJOY!

Some days computers suck.

This solution worked for me. Many thanks Romaq!
Worked great for my Surface, thank you!
I'm glad I've been able to help people out forwarding the solution to here.
Yep this worked for me. I had changed the app sizes which messes with MC I think.
