    For some reason, when I turned on my computer today, there's a line that traced everywhere my cursor moved to... And it went away after I right clicked. Anyone know what/why this is?

    I have no idea (yet), but check your "accessibility" options in windows. This looks like some kind of accessibility feature. Also check to make sure you don't have any kind of presentation software running in the background, this could be related to that too.

    Definitely not a presentation software (I don't have any either) since this happened as soon as I turned on my computer...

    It could easily be a video driver issue, has it changed recently and have you tried different ones?

    Does it do that after you open a program? Try opening word or excel and see if it does it again.
