Windows 10: My touchpad cursor disappeared and tried re-installing the drivers, but it says the device...

I have an ASUS Windows 10 laptop. My touchpad cursor disappeared and I tried re-installing the drivers, but it says the device is working properly. I went into System Settings and could not find a Trouble Shooter for the touchpad. Thank goodness my touchscreen works, but I really need my cursor back! Windows Update says I'm "Up to date". But, I see there is an "Optional Quality Update" available: 2022-11 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems KB5020030. Would this help? Also, none of the optional driver updates listed seem to apply to my touchpad.

Cursor has disappeared with Windows 10 update

My cursor pointer disappeared today. This is on a Dell Inspiron 13 7000 series which came with Windows 10 installed. It's about 1 year old.

When the laptop boots up, there is a cursor pointer and it can be used with the touchpad. It does not work with the mouse. Then after logging in, the pointer disappears, leaving me in touch screen mode.

I tried in and re-installing mouse drivers. I tried the recommended DISM.exe / commands.

Any suggestions?

 

Touchpad has quit working - Drivers are not showing up in Device Manager

Last month, my touchpad stopped working.

When I searched for the drivers, none were listed using Device Manager.

I did a factory reset of the computer (HP Stream 11) and the drivers did not show up. I downloaded the drivers from the HP website and installed them... they STILL do not show up.

I just ran the HP PC UEFI Hardware Diagnostics Component test for Mouse, and the cursor appeared (using the touchpad) for the test. When I clicked out of the test, and attempted to use the touchpad again, the cursor disappeared, and AGAIN, no drivers appear
in Device Manager.

I am currently running Windows 10 on the computer.

 

I want to disable touchpad on Dell laptop


Hello everyone,
My laptop's touchpad works and I don't want it to, because I prefer a mouse. It's a Dell Inspiron 11 3000 series on windows 10 OS.

What I have tried that hasn't worked:

• start<settings<devices<mouse & touchpad<additional mouse options. This opens a window called Mouse Options which has 5 tabs up top, none of which involve the touchpad. The Hardware tab shows 2 devices: the mouse itself, and the USB. No touchpad there.
• windows key+x<mobility center. No touchpad to be found.
• various function keys. No options for touchpad on/off.
• device manager<mice and other pointing devices. Again, only the mouse and usb show up. It appears the touchpad is working without a driver, which is a little spooky.

Any other suggestions? I could try downloading a third party driver, but that seems like a step in the wrong direction.
Thanks
