Windows 10: Pointer (white arrow) suddenly disappeared

Hi everybody,

few days ago I was typing my lecture notes on Word and suddenly the pointer disappeared. I was not doing anything strange and I did not update recently Windows 10.

I tried several solutions (also some proposed in this community) but none of them worked.

I am now using an external mouse connected through the USB door and it is fine. However I really like to have my pointer back on the screen.

Really thanks for helping.

P.S. My PC is a HP note and has Windows 10 version

:)

 

Help! My Pointer Keeps Disappearing

This is so uncomfortable.

My pointer keeps on disappearing. This is the 3rd times.

Pointer disappears

a couple of ideas....

Are you using the black arrow (large) for the pointer?

What kind of screen background does your pc wake up to?

For test purposes, I shut down my laptop and noted where my pointer was at shutdown. When my login page next appeared, the pointer was positioned exactly in the center of the screen but pointer was now a different small white one.

I am on skip ahead build 18204.
