My model is Lenovo Yoaga series. I left it in tablet mode and let it sleep for a night. When I try to use it in the morning, I can only use touchscreen option. I have tried methods like going to control panel, settings, device manager, but it still doesn't work. Or maybe I could be doing wrong as well. Can someone advise me how to bring the cursor back?

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Please try the following steps and check if it helps. Click Start> Settings > Devices > Select Mouse > click on Additional mouse options > Open the Pointer Options tab > Uncheck the option "Hide the mouse pointer while typing" > click Apply then OK to save changes. Now, check whether the mouse cursor appears this time. Let me know if this works. Thank you.
I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.
Best Regards!
Jen :)Hi, I tried this but did not work. I have tried restarting my laptop as well but nothing worked so far. Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you
