Windows 10: Mouse Pointer Not Showing

I have a touch screen laptop. After I touch the screen, my mouse pointer won't work on that screen any longer. I want to be able to use both the touch screen and the mouse. How can I do that?

Mouse Pointer

Hi,

You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
  
• Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
  Apply > OK.

If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
Browse.

Update us if it addressed your issue.

 

unknown icons shows next to mouse pointer. can anyone identify this?

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

• Are you facing any issues with that icon coming up with the mouse?
• Have you made any changes to the mouse pointer?

This is usually because of the mouse pointer changes.

I would suggest you to default the mouse pointer Scheme and check if the issue resolves.

• Press Windows + X keys, select Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, Select Pointers.
• Select Windows default (System scheme) in the Scheme list.
• Click Apply, OK and check.

Keep us posted if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
