Windows 11 Pro installed on My computer It has Messed with My Mouse

Mouse freezing and the pointer disappearing in Windows 11 is usually caused by hardware connection issues, wireless problems, or driver issues, even if drivers appear up to date.

Try these steps in order:

1. Check basic hardware
   1. Unplug the mouse’s USB cable and wait a short while so Windows unloads the driver, then plug it back in.
   2. Try a different USB port on the PC.
   3. If using a USB hub, make sure it has power. If problems continue, remove the hub and plug the mouse directly into the PC.
   4. Inspect the cable for damage.
   5. If the mouse is battery powered, replace or fully charge the batteries.
   6. Make sure there is no dirt blocking the sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
2. Check wireless/Bluetooth connection (if applicable)
   1. Look on the bottom of the wireless mouse for a Reset button and press it. If there is a Reset button on the USB receiver, press that as well.
   2. For USB wireless receivers, unplug the receiver, wait about 10 seconds, then plug it back in to re‑establish the connection.
   3. If the mouse uses Bluetooth, also follow the guidance in Fix Bluetooth problems in Windows (linked from the mouse/keyboard article) to ensure Bluetooth is working correctly.
3. Confirm the mouse itself is working
   1. Connect the mouse to another PC.
   2. If it does not work properly on the other PC (no lights, no movement, or pointer still disappears), the mouse may need to be replaced.
   3. If the mouse requires a specific driver, make sure that driver is installed when testing on the other PC.
4. Update or reinstall drivers Even if drivers show as “up to date,” reinstalling or updating can help:
   1. Use Windows Update to get the latest drivers:
      • Open Settings → Windows Update → Check for updates and install any available updates.
   2. Manually update the mouse driver:
      • Open Device Manager.
      • Find the mouse under the appropriate hardware category.
      • Open its Driver tab and select Update Driver, then follow the instructions.
   3. If problems continue, check the mouse manufacturer’s website for the latest driver and install it manually.

If, after these steps, the mouse still freezes or the pointer disappears, the most likely causes are a failing mouse device or a deeper driver/hardware compatibility issue that may require using a different mouse.

Please provide some more information on this problem, there is a problem being reported after the latest update, is this happening after the latest Windows update and if so, what apps is the mouse cursor disappearing in, is it the Office apps.
