Laptop trackpad acting mushy suddenly

So I have an Asus Laptop, not a high end one but gets the work done. So recently, all on a sudden my trackpad started acting mushy. I tried all the fixes but nothing helped. Also it is not continuous. It will get fixed itself like after a minute or two, or after I disable it or I connect a mouse via USB. It is like lagging, drunk but trying to keep up with me. Any fixes?

Hmm. Have you tried rolling back to an earlier driver version? Also, when did this problem start occurring? After a Windows update?

After I upgraded to an SSD. And for older version of drivers, no, haven't tried those. I literally copied my hard drive to the SSD. That's it.

To me, that seems like something getting garbled in the clone. See if you can find an older driver version and try that.

Downloaded and reinstalled the drivers again. If it doesn't work I will roll back to previous versions. If that doesn't work either, I will knock you later.
