My Mouse Cursor / Pointer Disappeared in Windows 10 or 11 | Shortcut Keys to Reinstate Mouse

In this Microsoft Windows video tutorial, I demonstrate how to reinstate your mouse / cursor pointer when it has disappeared. The tutorial uses a series of shortcut keys that will enable you to uninstall your mouse driver and then shut down your PC. On re-start, Windows will automatically install a new driver and your mouse pointer should reappear.

The Shift+F10 doesn't work as you say. It only sends the selection to thr bottom of thr list

If you are on a laptop try using the Fn key with shift f10.

OHMYGOD IT WORKED😭😭😭 I’m just days away from submitting my final assignment & my cursor decided to disappear. I almost had a full blown p@nick attack😭thank u sm!!!!

[@KimEllis-kt8ei]

My cursor issue, since working on a Win 11 pc, is on youtube if I start typing in a comment box and I move the mouse pointer inadvertently over the recommended video side of screen, as soon as the mouse pointer crosses that line where those video recommendations start, the cursor leaves the comment box.
I never recall in the past having to worry about where the mouse pointer was on the screen when typing other than maybe not hovering over something that would popup and cover my view, but this literally makes me have to keep re-clicking back into the comment box where I was making an edit or comment and is extremely time wasting and annoying.
Surely there is a way to stop the cursor jumping out of the dialog box simply because the mouse moves to the right quarter of the screen.
Even simply moving the mouse pointer to the left, above or below the comment box, it randomly disappears out of the comment box. If I move the mouse fast that seems to make it disappear about anywhere the mouse pointer is on the page. I move the mouse pointer so it's not covering what I'm typing, it's ridiculous simply moving it an inch or two out my face while typing is going to make the cursor no longer be in the comment box where I'm writing. Win 11 has been non-stop one ridiculous thing after another since fall 2023 when I switched to it from Win 10. Not a fan.

[@Hamzamehmood420]

It worked, thanks a lot

[@NancyPollyCy]

Sadly, this doesn't work. When F10 it doesn't give me an uninstall option. My choices are PC screen, duplicate, extend, and second screen only.

[@ChesterTugwell]

If you are on a laptop try using the Fn key with shift f10.

[@NancyPollyCy]

@@ChesterTugwellI'm on a laptop, but I'm starting to wonder if having a touchscreen is complicating matters. PS: I don't know if there's a connection, but my cat was walking on the keyboard right before this all went south. Could she have accidentally triggered some sort of control to mask the cursor or make it "invisible"? I've tried everything multiple times now, even doing a system restore, but I can't set a restore point back to the day before this happened. [Sigh.]

[@NancyPollyCy]

@@ChesterTugwellAha! It was a touchpad problem. Apparently my cat walked over just the right combination of keys to disable it. Thanks for the help!

[@ChesterTugwell]

Your cat, knows a lot more than it's letting on. 😺

@@ChesterTugwellDon't they all.
