What To Do When Your Mouse Pointer Suddenly Disappears - For Window Users

On a cool evening, my brother was working on a PowerPoint presentation he had to deliver the next day. After a while, he ran into an issue - the mouse pointer had disappeared. As anyone who has used Windows knows, it's incredibly difficult to navigate the operating system without a functioning mouse pointer. When I came across my brother, he was stuck in this frustrating situation.

I tried some troubleshooting steps that I thought might restore the mouse pointer, but none of them worked. I then searched online for a solution, but the various suggestions I found did not resolve the problem for me.

However, through my research, I was eventually able to find a clue that led me to the solution for the missing mouse pointer issue.

What I Did

I held on window button with R button simultaneously, then a program called Run opened. 

There is a space or box where you need to type 'control panel'. Then press the enter key or select Ok by using the arrow key or tab button.

While inside control panel window, select Hardware and Sound in the list of options there.

Then under the Device and Printer Option you would see Mouse as a sub-option listed. Select it. It is written in blue color with small font.

Then use your tab button to select touchpad or Click pad setting option at the top bar of that window. 

Right in the Click pad setting you would see Click pad or Touch pad enabled and disabled option. Select enable. 

That's it.
