    Cursor doesn't respond after switching windows


    I've had a windows 10 laptop for around 2 years now, and my cursor has just started acting up. It doesn't respond for a few seconds after I try to move it, and when in other windows such as video games, or right after switching windows, when I try to click I'm greeted with a error sound.


    I have tried:

    • Updating the mouse driver
    • Deleting and reinstalling the mouse driver
    • Restarting the computer
    • Disabling all non-windows startup programs
    • Running a virus check

    Thanks!

    :)

  3. Hanging cursor

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why the cursor doesn't respond. One of which is due to a faulty pointing device. To isolate the issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Does the whole system freeze or just the cursor?
    • Are you using the laptop's touchpad or an external pointing device?
    • Were there any changes made to your laptop prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We're looking forward to your response.

    After upgrading to windows 10, my cursor is not responding or even showing. Only have minimun other function and that is inconsistent. Cannot access the Startup menu. It seems to be frozen with the exception of control alt delete. Any suggestions?
