Answer 1

Hi Marie,

First, a few questions to understand better:

Is this a laptop touchpad, or are you using an external mouse?

Did this happen suddenly after an update or change, or has it been gradual?

Can you move the cursor at all, like with keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Tab + arrow keys), or is it completely invisible?

Also here's a few common fixes that often help. First, make sure your touchpad isn’t accidentally disabled; many laptops use a function key combination, like Fn + F7, to toggle the touchpad on and off. Second, check your touchpad settings by pressing Windows + I, then go to Bluetooth & devices and Touchpad, and ensure it’s turned on. Third, update or reinstall your touchpad driver by opening Device Manager, expanding Mice and other pointing devices, right-clicking your touchpad, and selecting Update driver, or Uninstall device and restarting your laptop so Windows can reinstall it automatically.

Kind regards,
