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 have the same issue on my Lenovo. I have hide cursor while typing unchecked (it had been checked), but the behavior persists. I also tried all 12 function keys and none affected this behavior. Even when I stop typing the cursor stays hidden until I click on something or switch apps. This behavior only started recently and it's extremely disruptive.

    Thanks so much for describing the icon as it's the F8 key on my laptop.

    This happens to me all of the time. On my laptop it's the F4 function key that toggles the cursor being shown/not shown. The icon on this key looks like a rectangle (screen) with a slash through it. Try toggling the function keys and see if your cursor comes back.
