The mouse freezes and disappears in Windows 8

I've seen a lot of discussions on this problem on here, but no resolution.  Each aid seems to have everyone check their settings, but I never see no follow-up, indicating that it is resolved.

I did everything suggested, including relocation or installation of drivers more recent but less specific and eventually went back to reinstall the drivers installed initially.  That's what I see:

I have a Toshiba laptop, P845T, with a 3.1 Microsoft desktop receiver connection model 4000 wireless keyboard and Laser Mouse 5000.

I loaded a few pointer graphics (HAL9000) if different from the standard in order to follow when the mouse is pointing upwards and disconnect it see where are.  Here's what I see:

When I start the computer from a stop, I almost always comes back to the standard mouse pointers.  At some point during the day, they will disappear.  The mouse is essentially functional, but difficult to use because I have to constantly use the CTRL key to know where he is.  IE10 and MS Word seem to be triggers, but I could not confirm this.

Before or after a failure, but once restored to the default settings of the mouse, I can open the control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Mouse and get the mouse properties window.  On the "pointers" tab, I see the pattern that I have previously downloaded and saved as one asset/chosen, but I actually use the mouse in endangered or by default until I hit OK or apply.  Please note that I have not changed a thing on the window - only watched and clicked OK.

I hope someone can tell me something I've not seen many times seen as questions on several previous posts.  I'm sure I got something wrong or do something wrong, but I'm quite frustrated.  The mouse still seems to disappear when I haven't the time to restart and reset.

Here are some examples:

Hello

In the face of this problem if you use the built-in touchpad drivers?

This problem can occur if the mouse drivers are not installed properly or the drivers are not compatible with the operating system.

You can upgrade the laptop Chipset drivers and check if that helps resolve the issue.

Visit this link for more information about how to download and install the latest Chipset drivers.

I hope that helps!

  • The mouse freezes at startup properly off. Mouse only thaws and works correctly when I hold the power button to stop and turn back.

    I just got a new Inspiron 1545 computer 2 weeks ago and it works fine but I got a problem for the last two days where my mouse will freeze after that I stopped it using the stop option. When my computer starts you can move the mouse, but after a few seconds, it freezes, and you can't move the mouse but the keyboard works. I try to restart the computer with the option to reboot from the start menu and when it starts up to the top of the mouse freezes still. No matter how many times I try to stop or restart properly mouse unlock not. It only works if I stopped it by pressing the power and then switch on again. Any ideas as to what I could do to fix this?

    The sad truth is that the mouse freeze problem is back. I searched the forum for other solutions, but so far without success.

    I am currently using MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 and just to make sure that the problem is with the mouse, I inverted this mouse on my other laptop which works also on Windows 7. Mouse freeze problem is replicated, which never happened before for my other laptop.
    Conclusion, until Microsoft is able to solve this problem, I opted for Logitech. I bought a Logitech M235 wireless mouse last night and keep your fingers crossed that the mouse freeze problem will disappear.

    Original title: OS time questions continuum (microfeezes)

    It seems that my computer freezes for a split second every 3 seconds approximately. My cursor disappears for a split second, and because the clock freezes and restarts, it displays a worst time of the day. Audio and video have the same gel splitsecond. The problem persists in safe mode. Dell Inspiron 1520, servicepack2 of vista running. I've never had any problems with this machine. Here's a video I took of the number: http://youtu.be/fbUeK8U7wHw

    I would like to know if there is other info/specifications that could be useful.

    Thank you.

    Good,

    1:
    Updated the chipset drivers even though it said I was with the best.

    2:
    Run a SFC scan, which revealed no violations of integrity or files not repaired.

    3:
    five hours and 8 infected files later, my computer is totally cleaned.

    I opened the event viewer, but I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for. There are many changes to the machine because it began to act up, which were intended to correct the problem. I installed the Service Pack 1, then 2, scan MS Safety and new chipset.

    I also ran a memory diagnostic, but all was well.

    What should I look for in the event viewer? I know that the problem started in a 12 hour window. Should I save and post the logs at the time?

    There is a certain mystery. We need Sherlock Holmes.

    -UPDATE

    I have reset the system to its factory settings. Now, it's as if it were new.

    The problem persists. He still hiccupping. It freezes again for a few milliseconds about once per second. And I'm going crazy.

    UPDATE 2-

    The computer was closed for about 12 hours and when it restarted and Windows initialization complete, the problem disappeared. It works normally for a vintage computer 2007. I'll let you know if I learn more.

I finally got windows xp pro installed, no conflicts in Device Manager, all the drivers are installed and now running smooth. I removed the keyboard, and re-set, all connections look good, but still not good. the synaptics keyboard works fine and both rt & lft click the buttons. I pulled the ram to inspect it, it's the right speed, ddr2700, and after running for an hour, it was cold to the touch!

  • Touchpad freezes / cursor disappears on Windows 8.1

    I have a Ultrabook from Split x 2 HP I bought a week ago.

    I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows recently. I noticed that my touchpad freezes and my cursor doesn't work anymore, no matter how many times I click or try to revive. If I start using the touch screen, the cursor disappears completely and does not return. Happen completely randomly - sometimes every two hours, sometimes more than once per hour. It has nothing to do with the number of channels I open or how many times I use it.
    I go to Device Manager to control the mouse pointer, and it says that the device is functioning properly. It shows also all the updates have been installed.
    Sometimes it lasts only 10 to 15 seconds, other times I have to close my computer and wait 30 seconds before you open it, and then the mouse will reappear.
    The driver is dated 23/08/2013 and the version is 17.0.2.24
    Just in case, here is the information on my computer:
    Intel Core i5-4202Y 1.60 GHz
    4.00 GB RAM
    64-bit operating system

    It worked for me.

    Go to the Generic USB (two of them) hub in Device Manager.

    Go to the power management tab

    Uncheck the box allowing the computer to turn off this device to save power.

    Turn it back on.

    My touchpad stopped everything by searching for a solution. I have 'unchecked' boxes and the touchpad are back to life before the reboot. He has worked since then. (three days)

  • The mouse freezes 7 64 pro. Weird.

    So he just built my wife a computer and put a copy of Win7 64 pro there. Fee install, all parts of nine. Commission of military rank MSI. Core i5 haswell. 16 gb Ripjaw DDR3 1600. 3 TB WD SATA 6 Gbps. EVGA GTX740. Not top of the line, but a pretty solid configuration. Wife tried to get the mouse to the keyboard, so she ordered a few unwanted Perixx thought looked cute... Install fresh. Pilots from MB. Windows. To update everything. While this is happening mouse would randomly freeze during installation. Never one of my other USB devices. just the mouse. thought that was weird, but I reboot a lot and he would start just back from work at startup. Only to stop again shortly after, so I ignored the mouse and installation continues by using the only keyboard, understand was just a piece of *. All updated and went out and bought the wife a decent installation of Logitech. Did the same with the new mouse, regardless of port (USB3.0 or 2.0) or hub. Hung my Razer Imperator wired mouse that I use on my bench which is an older version of the installer of my wife. Does exactly the same thing. When I say freeze, it's freezing. Don't thaw the mouse except a reboot OR anything, oddly enough, when I hit CTRL ALT DEL thaws the mouse and I used again. but the second I'm going away from this screen it hangs again. I ran the real glove of internet resources. Try anything and everything I can find in the forums, flashing the BIOS to disable USB3.0 all the way until it is deactivated hubs USB windows power management. I tried three different installs slate. But it's always the same thing. The mouse freezes completely between 2-5 minutes after the start. The fact in safe mode. I tried to disable and uninstall utilities that came with my motherboard as I suspected it might have been the cause. Installing and uninstalling the drivers, update of drivers for everything. Even Microsoft intellipoint. Nothing fixes this, any mouse or what port I use. For the love of God someone please point me in the right direction before that I need to be validated.

  • the mouse pointer and cursor of dysfunction, cannot type, cannot connect to my user account?

    OK, I'm not sure how succinctly describe the problem since it is composed of so many things that have actually made my computer useless. I think it's a virus, but my virus scan did not come with something useful, so.

    Last night I watch Youtube videos and edit some pictures when I noticed that I had to type on the touch pad repeatedly until the computer responded. Then it stopped working completely (IE I could still move the mouse pointer, but couldn't click using the touch pad). I switched from windows to look for a solution on the internet, but when I clicked on the address bar of Google Chrome the cursor started ahead of his own, as someone has pressed the space bar - but I was not. This makes type impossible because there were huge gaps between each letter. I turned the computer off and back on (thanks, ICT courses), but the problem has not disappeared - only now, the mouse pointer disappeared sometimes still. It was getting late so I turned it off again and fell asleep.

    This morning as I began it upward there was noises Eman that makes it usually when I plug / unplug power. I tried to type in my password... and couldn't. The capslock wasn't on, I of course did not forget the password from one day to the next, but I kept receiving error messages and could not open a session. Even worse, when I tried to switch to an account that was not protected by Word, he kept jumping to the mine after maybe 3 seconds. I finally managed to click the icon of the second account and logged.

    The touchpad still don't click, when I open Chrome and clicked on the address bar he reacted as I clicked with the button right referring (so I couldn't type) and the mouse pointer always disappears randomly. I did a Norton quick scan and it came with 22 'risks' that he apparently 'fixed', but the problem has not yet disappeared. I would be v. grateful for a quick response, as the laptop is actually not mine, but my father (who keeps valuable most of his photographs on the hard drive).

    EDIT: I opened it in Mode without failure. the touchpad works now, but randomly on the keyboard keys have stopped working. Others come with a random combinations when I press on them, for example. "you" instead of "t", "p"] - when I press on «-» I can't even reinstall the keyboard drivers, because I can't type in my admin password.

    Also I do not know what topic to put this in so if it's wrong, please let me know!
