    Cursor randomly disappears within certain applications - Windows 10

    I know this is an old post but I thought it would still be worthwhile responding for Windows 10 users.

    Step one:

    Right click on a blank part of your desktop and choose "Personalise",

    Step two:

    Click on "Themes",

    Step three:

    On the main section of the Themes settings screen, click on "Mouse cursor",

    Step four:

    Uncheck "Hide pointer while typing" and click "Apply" or "OK",

    Your mouse cursor should no longer disappear on you.

    *It could also be useful to put a check in the "Show location of pointer when I press CTRL key" option so if you don't know where your cursor is, you can find it by using the CTRL key.

    Microsoft support, I suggest that you should always remember that sometimes you should check the simple solutions first before recommending driver update or creating new user profiles.

    Cursor disappears when opening applications

    Cursor in Win10 sometimes disappears or totally locks up

    Hi Burt,

    The cursor movements on your Windows 10 laptop is directly controlled either by the laptop's built-in trackpad or an external mouse connected to the laptop. Device drivers that need updating could be one possible reason as to why the cursor disappears or
    stops responding. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you attempted?
    • Were there any error messages that showed up when the cursor disappears or stops responding?
    • Does the issue only occur when using a specific application or does it occur randomly?
    • Are you using the laptops' built-in trackpad or an external mouse connected to the laptop?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 did you use to upgrade your laptop?

    We look forward to your response to our queries.
