Aspire R7 Mouse - Keyboard - Touchscreen Stutters

Hi,

Using Aspire R7-571G

After upgrading from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro I've been experiencing intermittent stuttering with my mouse and keyboard. It will only happen randomly for a short time, up to five minutes at each time but the mouse will stutter about every second briefly. It is also noticeable while typing. It only seems to happen while the desktop (explorer) and microsoft edge are focused. If I open task manager and focus on that the stuttering stops until I go back to edge or explorer. Although sometimes it may occur during a game

I've updated the BIOS / intel drivers / done a chkdsk / sfc scan / defragged - still have this

There's nothing noticeable in task manager that's causing cpu spikes - everythings almost idle

I don't have any slideshow pictures running on my desktop either.

Wondering if there are any ideas or other users have similar problems here. I've noticed a few around the web:

I found a similar post about this on superuser.com by an Aspire R7 user Here
