Windows 10: Cursor Disappeared From Screen And 'Mouse And Pointers' In Device Manager Dissapeared Too...

So for some reason, after i was AFK Farming with an autoclicker in a game overnight, i woke up to my elan pointing device that disappeared, i went to device manager, and it said it was working properly for some reason, i swear it wasnt, so i restarted my pc, checked device manager again, then 'mouse and pointers' disappeared, so i looked up for fixes, and none worked, such as f3, f5, f9, f11 for example, but i did see one video where he went to the microsoft website and got a cursor from there, and this has worked for me before, but there are 2 problems trying this now, 1. is that i couldnt uninstall the thing as it was already gone, and 2. is that if i enter the link again, i get a 404 error, ive tried fixing this problem for 7 hours straight but i almost give up, it would make me really happy if i find an actual working download link or fix for this, and also, i use a x64 pc and use touchpad, and also managed to get system_thread_exception_not_handled ETD.sys when i closed my pc a few hours ago

im really sorry if i explained the situation confusingly

Cursor / Mouse Pointer disappears from screen, doesn't reappear

Cursor / Mouse Pointer disappears from screen, doesn't reappear

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
HP Envy x360

Frequently the cursor arrow / mouse pointer disappears from the screen. I sometimes can move the pointer up to the top of the screen using the touchpad and sometimes it will return to being viewable. It's as if the pointer/cursor is sometimes hidden when it's positioned in the body of the screen but reappears when it's up in the header. Moving my finger around the touchpad doesn't recover the pointer until I move to the top of the touchpad. I can see that the app is reacting as if the cursor is over items on the screen (they flicker for example) but the arrow does not appear.

The app I use most is Chrome. I don't think it's an app issue but will try to monitor whether it happens in other apps as well.

More effective in recovering the pointer is touching the touch screen and then the touchpad and the mouse pointer then reappears.

I've tried resizing and changing the color of the mouse pointer in Windows Settings, but this didn't change the issue.

How can I make the cursor / mouse pointer arrow disappear less often and, if it disappears, make it come back by just touching the touchpad?

I've unchecked "hide pointer while typing" in Mouse Properties and will see if that helps.

 

no mouse pointer on my desktop

Hi Jack,

One of the factors why you're mouse pointer has disappeared is due to corrupted system files. To assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

• Are you pertaining to the cursor not being visible?
• How were you able to go to the Device Manager?
• Have you tried to customize pointer in Mouse settings?
