Steam causes mouse to freeze/stutter every 4 seconds
On this new version of the steam client my mouse is freezing for a fraction of a second every 4 seconds. Just with the steam client running in the taskbar.

I had this problem on Steam Beta client when I've tested a few days ago, but now the client updated and the problem is back.

Any ideas how to solve it?

Same here. Unable to play with Steam client atm... Actually everything freezes every few seconds for a moment.

Still unusable for me. I have aleady tried all possible settings but nothing helped. Catastrophic!!!

I am a simracer but it is impossible to drive with this constant stuttering as long as client is launched but without client i cannot launch my simulations...

There's a short window of no response from Steam at times.

It most notably happens for me when i exit Steam.

Yes, this issue had been in the beta.

If I launch SteamVR even without having currently a headset connected the freezes/stutters are gone... Problem seems to be the VR Server that constantly tries to launch but fails untill SteamVR is running.

Uninstalling SteamVR solved the problem.

I have a WMR headset but I'm not using it, but I hope they fix the problem soon.

Uninstalling SteamVR fixed it for me, as well.

How do I uninstall SteamVR when I never installed it in the first place? Why do sections of Steam that I don't use keep giving me problems? >:(

I am not sure how valid it is, but some people alot of games in their account are getting massive lag spikes; I am getting them as well. It seems steam vr is getting it as well.
