    When using the MS edge browser And uploading a file or selecting a file from my computer, the mouse cursor disappears.It does this on two of my windows 11 Surface devices - a Surface Pro 7 plus and my MS Surface work laptop which is only about 6 months old.It also does this on some programs occasionally such as CapCut.This is an extremely annoying phenomenon and I've tried changing every mouse setting conceivable and nothing seems to work. How do I fix this?!

  2. Cursor disappears while typing in text box

    *Original Title: cursor and text box issues

    After clicking in a text box, the cursor disappears if the mouse/cursor moves anywhere but in the same text box. I cannot click in the text box and write unless I make sure the mouse is held in the same box. Windows 10

    any suggestions?

  3. Cursor / Mouse disappeared

    Hi Alexa, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your computer's cursor disappearing. Let's try some basic troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue. First, check to make sure that your mouse or trackpad is connected properly to your computer. If you're using a wireless mouse, try replacing the batteries or charging it. You might also want to try using a different mouse or trackpad, if available, to see if the problem persists.

    If those steps don't work, try updating your computer's drivers, which can sometimes help resolve issues with hardware components like your mouse. Alternatively, booting your computer in safe mode can help isolate the issue by disabling certain software that may be causing the problem.

    I hope these suggestions help you get your cursor back up and running. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    John D.

    Mouse Cursor Keeps Disappearing? hard to tell what I am doing

    Hi, Last

    My name is Milagros, Independent Advisor

    If your mouse pointer or cursor disappears or has gone misisng on your Windows 10 PC then if you earlier enabled the Show location of pointer when I press Ctrl key option, then you may press the CTRL key to make te pointer appear. ... Open Control Panel > Mouse
    > Pointer Options

    Solution 1. Use Windows Function Keys to Get the Disappearing Cursor Back in Windows 10

    The installation of Windows 10 may disable the function of your mouse cursor, causing the mouse pointer missing on Windows 10. If that’s the case, it could be possibly resolved by pressing the Windows function keys on your keyboard.

    Depending on your keyboard and mouse model, the Windows keys you should hit are varying from one to another. Thus you may try the following combinations to make your disappearing cursor back to visible in Windows 10: Fn + F3 / Fn + F5 / Fn + F9 / Fn + F11.

    If using the Fn keys to retrieve the missing cursor doesn’t work for bringing the mouse cursor back, there could be some errors with your mouse driver in Windows 10. Since upgrading Windows OS sometimes leads to driver or software compatibility issue. To fit
    Windows 10 with the compatible mouse drivers, you might as well roll back your mouse driver or update it.

    Solution 2. Update the Mouse Driver to Fix the Missing Cursor in Windows 10

    Step 1. Press Windows + R keys altogether to bring out the Run box.

    Step 2. Type devmgmt.msc and then hit Enter to open Device Manager

    Step 3. Press Tab to switch to devices list.

    Step 4. Use arrow keys to scroll down to Mice and other pointing devices and use the right arrow key to expand it.

    Step 5. Use the down arrow key to select your mouse device.

    Step 6. Press Shift + F10 open the context menu.

    Step 7. Choose Update driver with arrow keys and hit Enter.

    Step 8. Follow the on-screen installation instructions to finish the updates and then check whether the lost cursor or mouse not working issue persists on your Windows 10 laptop or desktop PC.

    Good luck..
