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?

    Thank you all. I plugged in an external mouse and it made the cursor reappear. Who knows!

    I had tried this earlier. I did find a blurb about clearing your cache and that did work for me. Thanks for your reply! It may help someone else!

    None of this worked for me, but what did work was toggling the F5 key on/off. Key looks like a monitor with a line thru it. Some people might have different functions on their F keys, but look for that screen with the diagonal line across it.

    This is the 4th time this has happened to me. Each time all of the suggestions don't work and it is some random, non-consistent thing that "fixes" the missing pointer on my laptop. I have grown to hate windows 11 for this one seemingly irreparable glitch. The first time it happened I took my laptop to Bestbuy and even the geeks couldn't figure it out. None of the suggestions on this page have resolved my issue this time. Luckily I have a touchscreen and an old laptop as a backup.
