Hey everyone.

Two months ago, I decided it was time for a new laptop and the Mac looked perfect and I must say, it has worked great. But recently I’ve been getting an incredibly annoying issue where my mouse cursor leaves a trail. I have no idea why this is happening and it also only happens periodically, but it’s insanely frustrating.

If anybody knows how I could possibly resolve this issue, please write it down below, as this is really getting on my nerves.

Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
