  1. Mice and other pointing devices AND Human Interface Devices missing from Device Manager


    I recently updated my computer, and when it finished updating, my mouse cursor was gone. I looked up a solution where I had to go to “Mice and other pointing devices” but that was gone. In order to get it back, I had to go to Human Interface Devices, but that was gone too. I tried resetting my PC a couple times and using troubleshoot, but everything keeps saying it’s up to date and there’s no issue. Does anyone know how I can get my cursor to show?

    :)

  2. Human Interface Devices Missing


    I have a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 laptop. Recently, this machine has been acting strangely. So much so that I have rebuilt the OS (sanitized the disk and performed a clean Windows 10 install) several times in the last week. However, it always reverts back to its previous behavior.

    The most repeatable aspect of strangeness is the touch screen will suddenly stop working after switching users, wake from sleep, restart, or power on from shutdown. Then sometimes after being powered off for an extended time, the touch screen will start working again; completely unpredictable.

    In Device Manager, I observe that the entire Human Interface Devices category is missing when the touch screen is not working. There are several other drivers in the category, not just the touch screen; the entire category just disappears. I cannot discern any pattern of events which precipitates this behavior; it just happens without warning.

    I've searched extensively but am unable to find reports of similar behavior. Any suggestions?

    Mice and other pointing devices missing from Device Manager

    Hello,

    Go to Device Manager, under Human Interface Devices, locate I2C HID Device. If it has an error code, or if this device is not working correctly, right click on it and select Update driver.

    If it has latest driver already, right click on it select Disable. Then again right click on it, select Enable. See if this resolves the issue.

    Else, go to your device manufacturer's website and install latest mouse driver for your system model.

    Hope this helps!
