    Mouse Cursor Changed to I-Beam and Yellow Hand


    My mouse cursor is now "permanently" an I-Beam with a small yellow hand on top of it. They move together and act as if the same icon. I am assuming I accidentally turned on some feature, but I am stumped as to what this feature is.


    How do I restore my mouse cursor back to the usual white arrow pointer/I-beam only when typing?

    :)

    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.
