Windows 10: Mouse cursor cannot drag anything a few hours after rebooting

Recently I noticed that my cursor cannot drag anything anymore. This includes dragging files in file explorer, dragging text in Chrome, or pretty much anything. I can still drag select, such as selecting multiple files, or selecting a piece of text. However, after selection, I cannot drag that selection at all.The first time I noticed this problem, I tried restarting my system, and the drag will work again for a few hours, then stop working again. And if I reboot, it will come back to normal, then stop working again.I don't think it's the problem with my mouse's driver, because I just download

Mouse cursor displayed without offset

When the mouse cursor changes to one that should be displayed with an offset (e.g., the hand cursor should be displayed slightly to the left so that the tip of the finger matches the mouse position) it is not and instead is drawn with the same position as the default pointer.

This is not specific to any program. Hovering a link the web browser shows the hand cursor to the right of where it should be. The cross-hair pointer in paint is down and to the right of where it should be. The I-beam cursor for text selection is to the right in any text editor, etc. (oddly, Steps Recorder's screen shots show the cursor in the correct position, though it was wrong when the recording was in progress.) Only the arrow pointer where the tip is in the top-left and needs no offset is correct.

I've tried the following:

• Rebooted the computer
  
• Removed the mouse from device manager, then reconnected it on a different USB port
  
• Checked for windows updates, installed, and rebooted
  
• Changed the mouse pointer settings (speed, appearance, DPI, etc.)
  
• Installed the latest drivers for the graphics card and rebooted.
  

With no effect on the issue.

 

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.
