Hey there! @Pip131, Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

I understand the mouse cursor has stopped functioning on your PC.

Don't worry I'd like to help you out.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

Have you tried connecting the mouse to different USB ports?

As you mentioned you are unable to see the mouse pointer on your PC.

I appriciate your efforts for trying out the steps before reaching out to us. 🙂

Try the steps recommended below.

Press the Win key on your keyboard, then type “mouse“. When you see “Mouse settings“ appear in the menu above, press the up or down arrow on your keyboard to highlight it, then press Enter.

In Mouse settings, press Tab on your keyboard until Additional mouse options (under Related Settings) is highlighted. Press Enter on your keyboard to select it.

In the Mouse Properties window, press Tab on your keyboard until the Buttons tab in the window is highlighted (with a dotted border.)

Press right arrow key on your keyboard until Device Settings in the window is opened. (The name of this tab could be different, depending on the mouse you use.)

 If your device is disabled, press Tab on your keyboard until the Enable button is high lighted, and press Enter to enable the device.

 If this method solves the problem, you will be able to see your mouse pointer again.

1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + I to launch Settings.

2. Tab to highlight and Right Arrow to Device.

3. Press the Enter.

4. Tab twice to select Mouse & touchpad.

5. Then Tab to the bottom to select Additional mouse options.

6. Hit the Enter.

7. Tab to select the ELAN tab.

8. Tab to select your device and select the Enable Device.

1. Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to launch Run.

2. Type into devmgmt.msc.

3. Press the Enter to open the Device Manager.

4. Tab to highlight and Down Arrow to select Mice and other pointing devices.

5. Right Arrow to expand the entry.

6. Down Arrow to highlight your current mouse device.

7. Use Shift + F10 to open the drop-down menu.

8. Select Properties and hit the Enter.

9. Tab and Right Arrow to the Driver tab.

10. Tab to Update driver. Thus you can update the mouse driver.
