    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Mouse pointer gone

    Very concerning indeed. As a first step I would want to know how you are magnifying your mouse pointer. I assume you are going to Settings, Ease of Access, Mouse, and from there you are changing the pointer size.

    I followed these steps and I was able to make my mouse pointer larger. So I know it works for some PCs. Just not yours.

    Normally I suggest updated mouse drivers but in your case you already tried a different mouse so I would go in a different direction to troubleshoot your issue. First I would clean boot your PC. See if that step resolves your issue.

    Clean boot your PC

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows: How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Note: The steps apply for Windows 10 as well.

    The goal of this step is to see if some other software is running on your PC that conflicts with your mouse. If this step resolves the issue the goal is to try to find the software that is conflicting and disable it, remove it, or update it so it no longer
    conflicts. Don't forget to reverse the steps of the clean boot when you are done trying this step.

    Windows ten mouse gone

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



    Please reply: Are you referring to touchpad or a mouse?



    I would suggest you run the hardware troubleshooter using the keyboard and see if it helps:

    Please follow the steps below:

    • Type “Troubleshooting” on the Windows Search bar and hit enter.
    • On the left side of the Troubleshooting window, use the Tab key and Navigation keys (left, right, up and down) to click on “View all”
    • Again use the Tab key and Navigation keys (left, right, up and down) to click on Hardware. Please provide a password if asked for it and click Enter.
    Follow on screen instructions.

    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,
