The mouse on the computer screen is gone
My Windows 10 computer mouse cursor has suddenly vanished from the screen, and moving the mouse or tapping the touchpad does not bring it back at all. I have already tried restarting the system, checking the USB connection, and toggling the touchpad function key, but nothing restores the pointer, making it impossible to click on any application or menu. Could someone please guide me through advanced troubleshooting steps, such as checking device manager settings, updating display or mouse drivers, or using keyboard shortcuts to re-enable the cursor, because this issue persists even after a full reboot and I am completely stuck without visual navigation.
