imac sonoma cursor keybd and mouse freezes

when I type, move the mouse the cursor freezes for about 2 seconds. It is very frustrating. Worked with an Apple Tech had me reload the OS. No benefit. Tried what I have read on the internet, none provide a result. I reviewed the system info and it is not a CPU or memory resource issue. Before I get back in a chat for a few hours with an Apple Tech, anyone have a solution. I do not have a sidecar. I ran the system in SAFE mode, and the issue appears there also.

Have you run Disk Utility's Disk First Aid on all connected drives?

In Disk Utility>View, select Show all Devices, highlight the top left entry.

Run Disk First Aid on all items in the left panel, from top down.

Are you running any VPN, Anti-Virus, or Cleaning apps?

We need to see what all is running, a report from this will not display any personal info...
