Windows 10: Microsoft forced update removed my cursor.

How do I recover my cursor without losing hours worth of work?


Microsoft just did a forced update. When it restarted I have no cursor. I can't reopen my tabs without a cursor. I can't do anything. Essentially Microsoft just destroyed my computer with a forced update.


I had about 80 tabs open and was writing a research document. If I can't reopen my tabs I have lost hours worth of work. How can I recover my cursor?


My computer is an old HP 8540 Elitebook that Staples sold refurbished 2 & 1/2 years ago. It has Windows 10, Office 365, and Chrome latest version.


My computer ability is low-intermediate. I need some kind of help but Microsoft's online chat help feature is worthless. I can't even sign in to my account if I have no cursor.


How can this be fixed?

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?

 

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.

Microsoft Issues Updated Animated Cursor Patch

Microsoft has released an updated version of its MS07-017 patch that fixes some incompatibility problems with the animated cursor vulnerability patch. Early installers of the original 925902(MS07-017) patch that was issued on Tuesday reported seeing error messages with their Realtek HD Audio Control panel. In addition to Realtek, users of three lesser known programs could be affected. Those programs are ElsterFormular, TUGZip and CD-Tag. Microsoft says the problem appears because of the user32.dll and the hhctrl.ocx files have the same memory address after the patch. You can download the updated 935448 patch from here.
