Okay, this is a strange one. I have included all the troubleshooting steps I've tried, so please read through before making suggestions. :)

Last night out of the blue, after always working perfectly, my mouse pointer started to randomly freeze for a second or two. When it did move, it moved smoothly and normally; but every few seconds or so it would get stuck for a moment (you can check out what kind of mouse it is in my specs). The mouse wheel and buttons are fine, no problems at all; just the pointer is messing with me. The touchpad works perfectly as well.

It works perfectly after a reboot. But over time it starts to break down again. In fact, I left it alone overnight, and this morning the pointer would barely move at all.
I rebooted again, and noticed that at the blue "Restarting" screen the mouse pointer was instantly back to normal. But again, after reboot it would be fine at first but then start acting up, getting worse as time went on.

Troubleshooting I have already tried:
1. Replaced the mouse battery.
2. Removed the USB receiver and put it back in.
3. Uninstalled the drivers, rebooted, Windows installed generic HID-compliant driver.
4. Malware scan
5. Tried a different mouse

Oddly, after trying a different mouse and then switching back to the original, it worked fine for much longer before starting to break down again. At the time of this post, the pointer is sticking but not as badly, and taking longer to deteriorate.

I'm about to try a system restore, but really don't like going there if I don't have to. So if anyone has any other ideas, please share.

Thanks!

I will most likely try a system restore next. My job depends on this machine, and it needs to be working properly ASAP. I'll let you know!

System Restore seems to have fixed it for me at this point. I'm still holding off judgment until it's been a few hours with no problems. I forgot to turn off Windows Update beforehand, so they all got reinstalled automatically. However, nothing has gone bad yet, so perhaps the restore fixed it, regardless of what caused. Might have been something unrelated to WU.

More than 3 hours and all is well. While I don't know what actually caused the problem, system restore got rid of it. Marking this Solved. Hope you can get yours fixed soon, Larf.
