Once the computer restarts, see if the mouse cursor appears on the screen. Use the Arrow key to select the Restart option and click on OK to restart the computer. Press Alt + F4 keys on the Keyboard to bring up the Shut Down dialog box.


If you are using a USB Hub, remove the Mouse from USB Hub and plug it directly into the USB Port of the computer. To confirm, plug the Mouse/Receiver into another USB Port and see you can now see the Cursor or the Mouse Pointer appearing on the scree of the computer. The problem of Mouse Pointer Disappearing might be due to the USB Port on your computer having a problem connecting to the Mouse due to a technical glitch or not at all working. This should help the computer to recognize the mouse and the Cursor or Mouse Pointer should now appear on the screen. If you are usinga wireless, remove its USB Reciever from the computer and re-connect it back again. If you are using a wired mouse, unplug it from the computer and connect it back again. This can happen when certain applications don’t close properly and don’t give the mouse back.In certain cases, the problem of Mouse Pointer Disappearing in Windows 10/11 is also known to occur due to the Mouse being disabled by an update installed on the computer, while it was in sleep mode. Sometimes your mouse pointer keeps disappearing because an off-screen application has captured it. Use Alt+Tab or Task Manager to Release a Captured Pointer Updating the application and your GPU drivers should be your first action, but if that doesn’t work check the software’s documentation to see where you can toggle hardware acceleration off. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that the pointer disappears because of compatibility problems. This might happen because that application is trying to use hardware acceleration to render things more quickly and smoothly. Common examples include video player applications and web browsers such as Chrome. Sometimes a mouse pointer disappears only when it moves over certain applications. If Your Pointer Only Disappears in Certain Apps It can also be that your GPU driver needs to be updated, so that it plays nicely with a newer mouse driver. Alternatively, perhaps you should roll back a new mouse driver which may be causing problems.

While Windows usually does a good job of keeping things up to date, you may want to manually check that your mouse drivers are up to date. If your mouse has this feature, make sure it’s set to the correct profile for the computer you want to use it on. So you can switch between different devices at the touch of a button. Some Bluetooth mice, such as the MX Master series, support multiple device profiles.
