Cursor disappeared from my PC

[giddyup]

Was working fine this morning, had left it in sleep mode, turned it back on but no cursor. Tried a couple of different mice, all wired, but nothing works. Any ideas?

They can't if it's a PC malfunction.

Tried all that, no luck, and I can't find mice and pointing devices next to keyboard to update the driver. I think it's a fault in the Lenovo PC.

Curse the cursor and hop on one leg for eight seconds while depressing F8.

Use keyboard to go into Device Manager and select Mice and other pointing devices. Expand tree w/ right-arrow. For each mouse driver, Alt-A for Actions on the menu. Select update driver or uninstall driver. Reboot. 

 

You could also try a system restore from last restore point. 

 

If you have some electrical contact cleaner, spray in USB port(s).

Didn't see you come up with the solution, only stupid comments.

Problem solved by madmen. It was the USB port that's failed. Tried another and have the mouse back.

Battery in the mouse?

As you resorted to inane playground name-calling and associated sense of humour failure then I would have made a positive suggestion.

 

Up to you.  Get over yourself.

I doubt you know what a positive suggestion is, too busy trying to be a smart arse.

Apologies if I upset your fragile sensibilities with some light humour.  

 

Knock yourself out and lighten up.

 

What devastating impact has it had on you to merit such nonsense?

[giddyup]

Moderator please close. Problem has been solved.

Boohoo.

Had the same before, and after hibernation.

 

It loads a wrong driver when wake up, and the only way out of that was using another usb port which then used the right driver and it worked.

 

And then returning in the usb port used before it worked too.

 

It get stuck in the switching in usb 1.1 and usb 2.0 mode.

Same issues I get with wrong inserted usb memory sticks with loose contacts.
