Windows 10: Gray screen w/ mouse cursor on boot

Hello,

Today when I went to go turn on my computer, my PC booted into a gray screen w/ just a mouse cursor. I first tried to unplug all USB devices and unplug the power for 30 sec, but that did not work. I have installed Windows onto a USB drive and tried to get into BIOS to repair Windows, but when that happens I actually do not get a gray screen. Instead, my monitor displays no input. This is especially frustrating, considering that my PC was operating perfectly fine the night before. Hoping I could receieve some help.

Thanks,

Jack

No Mouse Cursor on Boot Screen

I've had Win 10 for quite a while and PC has worked like a champ. Lately, after it boots up and gets to the Home? screen (the screen you click on to enter your password), I don't have a mouse cursor. Keyboard doesn't seem to have a key function to get
past this screen.

System is a ASUS Essentio with a Logitech wireless keyboard and a wired Logitech mouse

Things I've done to remedy:

1) Booted to the BIOS screen at startup and mouse works like a champ, so the mouse is fine.

2) Thinking this could be system update download issue, I've unplugged my network cable and rebooted. No change.

This happened yesterday but after rebooted the system, it came up and mouse worked. Today, nothing seems to get it going. Any suggestions out there?

 

No mouse cursor

Hi,

It is possible that the system did not recognize the mouse of your computer after it booted up. This can be the reason why you do not see the mouse cursor. Kindly perform a power cycle to refresh the power of the computer. To do this, follow these steps:

• Shutdown the computer.
• After shutting it down, remove the battery (if you're using a laptop) and disconnect the computer from the charger.
  
• Wait for 1 minute.
• After 1 minute, attach the battery and turn on the computer.
• Check if you will see the mouse cursor.

Let us know how it goes.
