I was using Windows 11 on my Lenovo Yoga today, and suddenly my cursor started jumping to the top left corner of my screen. This was happening ever...

Just had this exact same issue and this article solved it
I tried the tried and true method of unplugging the mouse, disabling touchpad, and touchscreen, and was about to try a bios update when 5 minutes of searching found this article for the win
I'm glad this helped. There are a lot more people viewing this article than I expected: this seems to be a common hardware defect.
THANK YOU!
I signed up to dev.to just to say that. I love my Lenovo Yoga. I use it for my university studies, but I noticed the mouse cursor behaving erratically while the computer was doing something intensive. I thought it was a glitch with the trackpad. I recently bought a mouse so that I could play some games during the Christmas break, and found everything to be totally unplayable with the mouse cursor jumping around so erratically.
Disabling the pen worked perfect! Of course, I will still need the pen - I keep all my course notes in OneNote - but at least I can disable it now when need be.
From my own research, it sounds like this has been an ongoing issue with Lenovo Yoga series laptops for several years now (I see one post from 2018 complaining of the same issue). It's a shame they won't address the issue. I hope it's only a software issue and not a hardware one.
Anyway, thank you for making games playable!
I'm glad this was helpful. I sure wish that Lenovo would fix it.
Thanks Tyler! Curious how you discovered the resolution.
Great work!
I sunk a whole day into this because I needed the laptop to work. I eventually realized that I should try to debug on Linux instead of Windows. People who use Linux and post on the Linux forums tend to be power users.
Some Linux forum post led me towards the
xinputcommand, which is how I discovered that there was a "pen stylus" input in the first place. When I disabled that, the problem went away, then I just had to figure out how to do the same thing back on Windows.This worked like a gem - thank you!
Whoa, you found this the day after this article was published too! I'm glad this was able to fix your problem 🙂
Thank you very much for sharing, I have the same problem, but I want to use the screen pen. I use the computer for remote teaching and disabling the pen is not an option. Jumping cursor is very annoying during the lecture. I tried many options even factory reset, but nothing works. Disabling the pen means we disabled the touch screen. This means that most probably there is a physical problem in the screen touch sensitive layers. If the computer is still under warranty, I recommend to send it for fixing, maybe changing the whole screen.
It seems like a hardware problem. You might want to contact Lenovo.
Oh my god you are a life saver!!! This was the fix!!!
Thank you SO MUCH! This seems to be working!!!!
thank you SO much this solved it!! You saved me from ripping my hair out of my head!!!!! I was the same as Colby below - was about to try a bios update but this solved it.
This helped! I signed up this website just to say THANK YOU!! It seems the problem started in October when a bunch of driver updates pushed through. Seems Lenovo hasn't found an official solution.
