Windows 10: cursor wont click on select things

I can click on most things fine, but I'm noticing that in two specific places there may be more I can't click. using my arrow keys works fine. the two places are the windows + x menu, and the "paint" application. I could click before, but one day I noticed it just didn't anymore. is there a fix?

cursor dissappeared

Thank you both for your prompt replies, I tried all steps listed, some I had tries previously but I still tried them again, but still no cursor.

Do you have any other suggestions?

 

Is there a key to delete character ahead of the cursor?

Hello Stephen,

As of the moment, deleting the characters next to the cursor is unavailable. You can only delete characters by moving the cursor to the right side. You can always send a suggestion via Feedback Hub app so that it can be added or included on the next update.

To send a feedback on your phone, you can follow the steps below:

1. Go to All Apps, search for the Feedback
   Hub app.
2. Open the menu icon at the top left side.
3. Select Feedback, then at the top right side, tap the
   add button (+).
4. Select Suggestion and fill up the box with the details of the feature you want to be added on Windows phone.
5. Select the right category for the suggestion and then submit.

Should you need more help, feel free to ask the Community.

 

Cursor clicks on things randomly all by itself

Hi Tom,

Experiencing erratic movements of the cursor could be related to a hardware or driver issue, a third party software, or could be caused by a corrupted program. To help us determine what may have caused this, I would like to ask the following information:

• Were there any updates installed or changes made on your laptop prior to the issue?
• If yes, what were those updates or changes?
• Are you using an external mouse or just the touchpad?

While waiting for your response, please try the following steps:

Update Touchpad driver

1. Right-click the Windows key and select Device Manager.
2. Expand the Mice and other point devices category, right-click the touchpad, and click
   Update Driver.
3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Adjust Touchpad sensitivity

1. Navigate to Settings > Devices > Touchpad.
2. Adjust the Touchpad sensitivity to Low sensitivity.

If you have additional questions, or if the issue persists after the troubleshooting steps above, please let me know by replying to this thread. This way, I'll get notified and respond back to you as soon as I can.

Regards.
