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?

    Awwwwh - finally a suggestion that worked on my Lenova Yoga Windows 11 - thank you!

    I forced shutdown as you said and voila: pointer returned!

    Hi Sid

    Thank you for posting your solution. This worked for me after weeks on the pointer disappearing and disable/enable or uninstall/restart occasionally working. I am not sure what is causing the problem in the first place but so far this solution has 100% success rate for fixing it.

    I have also reported the underlying problem which causes the pointer to disappearing to Microsoft and this is currently under investigation.

    Update: The 'turn the touchpad on/off' function will not fix the problem today. I checked the driver status and the usual error was showing.

    So back to waiting for Microsoft to identify the route cause of the problem

    Hi All,

    I've been having the same issue with a 'disappearing cursor', if you will, for the past two days. The suggestions on this Forum were insightful, but did not correct the issue. However, the following did: Start --> Settings --> Bluetooth & Devices --> Typing Touchpad in the Find a setting dialog box --> Turn the touchpad on or off --> Toggling the On/Off Button to 'On'; how it turned off in the first place is still unknown, although I suspect some inadvertent sequence of pressed keys did so; I hope this helps. :)

    The icon on this key looks like a rectangle (screen) with a slash through it.

    Months later this description helped me when my cat turned my laptop into a bed.
