Mouse and keyboard lag

[TruBlue1]

I just installed Windows 10 after replacing my hard drive. Clean install. Now my mouse and keyboard have serious lag. Same for wired/wireless usb. Works fine on other computers. Tried most options I found online. Nothing helps. Any ideas of how to correct?

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:

2. Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
3. On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
4. Press F10 to Save and Exit.
5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?

Thanks for the reply. These instructions appear to be for a laptop. I have a Pavilion 23 desktop.

I ran the Repair option and when it restarted it worked great at first.  Mouse was moving as expected. Then after a few moments it started lagging again. Can it be that something is loading that is causing the problem?

Thank you for posting back. 

The steps are for desktop PC as well, have you tried updating the drivers using HP support assistant? 

If its a software-related issue it can be fixed by reinstalling the Windows operating system in worse case scenarios 

Keep me posted for further assistance.

I tried all the things you suggested. I’ve done a clean install of Windows 10. Mouse and keyboard work normally for the first few minutes. A few minutes after startup the lag is back. Tried same mode and it works normally. 

Sorry, I don’t know much about PCs. I normally use a Mac. Trying to set this up as a secondary computer. Not useable in this condition. 

Thanks again for helping.
