Thanks so much for describing the icon as it's the F8 key on my laptop.
This just happened to me while I was sanitizing my mouse and keyboard (Dell Inspiron 15, Windows 11). F8 worked wonders! Thanks for the suggestion!
I cannot see mouse pointer on my Window 11 laptop. What should I do?

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?

Ok, so now I'm having a different type of mouse disappearance. I don't know how it happened this time, but the buttons aren't working. I've tried restarting as well as looking into the menus. Nothing. I'm glad I at least have a touchscreen, but it's annoying this happened twice in less than two weeks.
