Open Windows 11’s Get Help app with the keyboard and request a live support chat without needing the missing cursor.
Contact live support using only the keyboard
- Press the Windows key.
- Type Get Help, then press Enter.
- Press Tab until the search box receives focus.
- Type cursor disappeared after Windows Update, then press Enter.
- Move through the results with Tab. If suggested fixes appear, continue until Contact Support is selected, then press Enter.
- At Select your product or service, choose Windows using the arrow keys, then press Enter.
- Select the closest support category and move to Confirm with Tab; press Enter.
- Select Chat with a support agent in your web browser, confirm the contact details, and press Enter to open the chat. Microsoft documents this complete keyboard-navigation route for Windows 11.^1^
Chat availability varies by operating hours, issue, and subscription. If chat is not offered, Get Help may instead offer a support-agent callback.^2^
If the app cannot connect, open Microsoft’s official support page on another device and select Get help; the available contact methods may include chat.^3^
Conditional fallback: remove the latest update
Since the cursor disappeared directly after an update, removing that update is a targeted fallback—not another repeat of general cursor troubleshooting.
Removing a security update can reduce protection, and some updates cannot be uninstalled. Microsoft recommends trying a Windows 11 repair reinstall before uninstalling a security update.^4^
If support advises rollback, use the keyboard:
- Press Windows+I to open Settings.
- Use Tab and the arrow keys to select Windows Update.
- Select Update history.
- Under Related settings, select Uninstall updates.
- Select the newest update installed immediately before the cursor disappeared.
- Choose Uninstall, restart Windows, and check whether the pointer returns.^4^
Do not remove an update merely because it is recent; match its installation date to when the cursor disappeared. Tell the support agent that this has happened after updates four times and provide the KB number shown in Update history.
