Windows – Disable pointer ghost trails on Windows

I would like to turn off this ugly mess whereby whenever you move the mouse at any speed other than a crawl, the mouse pointer leaves ghost trails at regular intervals. It happens everywhere in Windows and also in some games. I suspect Windows is not reporting all mouse movement. It happens on a regular system OR my quad i5 3470 on 144HZ monitor with 1000hz mouse polling rate 1600 DPI, with MarkC mousefix or whatnot. I have gtx770 GPU with all devices' and OS throttling disabled, i.e. max performance at all times. What causes this and can I get rid of this?
