internet page skips down on its own
i have a system with a weird phenomenum
a desktop running W10, + defender and AV does the following :
when i open up an internet page with EDGE (startpage = google, then hp system + drivers, and i'm llooking up drivers or manual, the page starts skipping DOWN, say 1/2 page, stops several seconds , then skips DOWN again, etc
This is very frustrating , so i'd like to know what can cause this - and put a stop to it
it also happens on other pages than HP - and i only have it happening on this system
i installed all systems myself - clean
i use a PS2 keyboard, and wired USB mouse - no wifi
ideas? ? ?

Interesting. A bad mouse never occurred to me, though thinking retrospectively, it's a valid troubleshooting step. Well done and hope its resolved for you :)

Reset Edge. Could kill two birds with one stone here.

I'd also check if the behavior exists when booting into Safe mode with Networking.. I think there's an extension or add/on that's gone rouge on you somewhere.
