    Hi Colin,

    Thanks for your post. I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Please try the following steps and check if it helps. Click Start> Settings > Devices > Select Mouse > click on Additional mouse options > Open the Pointer Options tab > Uncheck the option "Hide the mouse pointer while typing" > click Apply then OK to save changes. Now, check whether the mouse cursor appears this time. Let me know if this works.

    I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
