Solved! Roving cursor - Dell Latitude D630

[johnwms]

Uncontrollable. Cursor. Roams horizontally, on the left edge, at the "close" 'X'. Frustrating, no touch pad control often. Hibernating, restarting, running anti-virus don't work.
Looking for your hints, experiences, ideas - this makes any. use very slow. Using Chrome most of the time, sometimes Edge. Windows 10.
Please...

Mouse or touchpad?

It's likely the joystick that's stuck in one position. This is a common problem as they age and may require a keyboard replacement. However, you might try simply moving the joystick around in a circle for a few seconds which may recenter it.
