Troubleshooting: Why Your Mouse Cursor Disappeared in Windows 10

Disappearing cursors can be frustrating experiences for any computer user. If this issue has affected your Windows 10 system, don't worry – there are several ways you can troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

1. Check if Caps Lock is On:

Sometimes, a simple oversight like having the Caps Lock key accidentally pressed can cause mouse cursor issues. Ensure that it's not in the 'on' position by checking for a small icon of an 'A' or 'a' at your keyboard's top-right corner.

2. Restart Your Device:

1. Press Windows + X on your keyboard.

2. Click on Settings from the drop-down menu.

3. Select System from the left-hand side panel.

4. Scroll down to Power & Sleep and click it.

5. Under 'Restart' section, select 'Restart now.'

If none of these steps resolve the issue:

1. Press Windows + R together on your keyboard.

2. Type: msconfig

3. Click OK or Enter.

In the next window that opens:

4. Ensure that 'Start-up' is selected from the top left-hand side menu.

5. Look for any programs with a checkmark beside them, and uncheck each one-by-one until you can move your cursor again without restarting Windows 10.

If these steps do not resolve the issue please see further troubleshooting options below:

For more advanced users who want to troubleshoot deeper:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc on your keyboard at once (or right-click in taskbar and select Task Manager).

2. Click on Processes tab from top left corner of new window that opens.

3. Find 'dwm.exe' process listed there; double click it then press 'End Process' button when prompted to do so.

If all else fails, consider performing a System Restore or even reinstalling Windows 10 completely as last resorts since these methods will erase your system settings and installed programs:

1. Press the Start button on your desktop.

2. Type 'Settings' in search bar at top right corner of new window that opens; click 'System' when result appears below results list under Settings icon next to magnifying glass symbol above clock displayed near bottom left side panel.

Hope this helps you troubleshoot and resolve any mouse cursor disappearance issues with ease!
