Windows 10: Cursor Freezes and Disappears

Running Windows 10 on a Dell XPS 8500. The cursor continuously freezes and / or disappears. Have made sure the "Hide cursor while typing" box is not checked. Have tried running with "Enhance pointer precision" checked and also unchecked. Have run Dell SupportAssist to ensure all drivers are up to date and system is optimized. Have dumped the driver and reinstalled. I have neither a touchscreen nor a touchpad.


Nothing changes. Problem is so bad I have to use Task Manager several times per hour to close whatever program I am in, then restart and hope I get 5 minutes without problem happening again.

Windows 10: cursor freezes / disappears after sleep (or power on)

Hello,

My cursor on Windows 10 seems to freeze / disappear every time when I wake up my laptop from a 'sleep' state and when I power up windows. Sometimes it takes multiple reboots to get the cursor back. This
started happening after I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 (clean install with formatted partition). Cursor was working fine when
I was using Windows 8/7 for the last few years on the same hardware.

I have seen other posts online about this cursor freezing/disappearing problem on earlier Windows 10 builds, but unable to find a fix. Do you have any suggestions? Details listed below. Thanks in advance!!

Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit

Hardware: Sony Viao Laptop

Model # SVS1313AGXB

Synaptics Touchpad driver screen attached below. The "Update Driver" button is disabled.

my cursor keeps disappearing

Hi,

If this issue appears on your laptop, you need to check if your device is enabled. To do that, follow these steps:

Go to Control Panel > Mouse.

Navigate to the last tab on the right and make sure that the device is enabled.

After doing that, your mouse will reappear and everything will start working again. Keep in mind that you might have to perform these steps using your keyboard.
