The mouse on the computer screen is gone

Elodieeeeui — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 10:51:11 GMT

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.

What could be the possible reasons for the computer to suddenly go black screen?

Raesoiy — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 10:47:48 GMT

My computer randomly goes to a black screen with no warning, and I cannot figure out why this keeps happening. The screen goes completely dark while the system seems to still be running, with fans spinning and lights on, but nothing responds. I have to hard reset to get back in. I have already checked my monitor and cables, and they appear fine. Could this be a graphics driver issue, a failing power supply, an overheating GPU, or maybe a problem with the motherboard or RAM? I would appreciate any advice on where to start diagnosing this frustrating issue, as it occurs at random intervals even during light tasks like web browsing.

I'm trying to figure out what a minimalistic Windows 10 setup actually means and how to achieve it. I want to strip down the operating system to its absolute essentials, removing all the pre-installed bloatware, unnecessary background services, and visual clutter that slow things down. My goal is to have a clean, fast, and responsive system that only runs the core applications I actually need, while disabling telemetry, Cortana, and all those extra features Microsoft bundles in by default. Could someone explain what this entails and recommend safe ways to debloat without breaking the system?

What is the best AI tool for summarizing long articles?

Tomasstes — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:37:52 GMT

Hello everyone,

I often come across long articles, research papers, and technical guides that take a lot of time to read. An AI tool that can generate accurate summaries would be very helpful for quickly understanding the main points before reading the full content.

There are many options available, including Copilot and dedicated AI article summarizers. As a beginner, it is difficult to know which one produces the most accurate summaries and handles very long documents well.
