I have a laptop that has an Intel Core i7 3612QM (built in HD4000 graphics), and also an Nvidia GeForce GT 630M with Optimus, running Windows 8 Pro x64. All latest updates are installed, and both GPUs have the most current drivers.
I am running into a horribly annoying problem when I attach a second screen to my laptop via HDMI (and extend the display) that did not happen on Windows 7.
It is difficult to explain, and a VERY strange problem. What happens is that whenever the second screen is connected, when I move my mouse pointer over certain things that cause it to change (like hovering over a link turning into a pointing finger), it will stop moving for a second, almost as though it became "stuck" on the place it changed, and the got unstuck.
It does not happen in all programs. In MS Word, and WordPad though, when you move the cursor on and off of the page, as it moves over the border (and changes to the margin resize tool), it happens. It also happens in other programs. It is the most annoying thing in the world. The faster I move the mouse, the worse it is. I have tried forcing the Intel GPU only, and the Nvidia GPU only from the Nvidia drivers. Neither setting has any effect.
Anybody know how to fix this?
