Pointer does not show up on desktop

[rrgardner1]

Toshiba Satellite u845 TouchPad not working, no pointer on screen. Windows 10. Pointer works on welcome screen and then works on sign on screen but then it is nowhere to be found on desktop and an "x" is on pointing device icon in bottom tray. So I cannot go anywhere from desktop.

Try the following and see if it fixes it...

1. Go into "Control Panel".
2. Click "Hardware and Sound".
3. Now click "Mouse and Touchpad".
4. Now go to "Additional mouse options".
5. The Mouse Properties window will open. In here click on your device.
6. Make sure your device is set to enabled. If it isn't then click "Enable Device".
7. Exit both that screen and "Control Panel".

It should work now.

Also, you might also want to check for updates to your drivers.
