Tried a system restore to a couple of weeks before yesterdays " critical update " and tho this unfroze touchpad and cursor ,all my desktop shortcuts no longer worked and clicking on them resulted in an error message ,something about " unable to find locale data ,please re install " .


I've never had this with a system restore before and it made me nervous ,so I undid the system restore . But now I'm back to a frozen cursor and touchpad .


Anyone any ideas as to how I can unfreeze cursor and touchpad ?


I'm not very savvy .

You could try reinstalling the touchpad and cursor drivers.


Go into control panel - device manager - mouse and pointing devices.


Right click on touchpad - unistall.


The touchpad will then show with a yellow triangle - right click again - install (or it might say search for drivers).


That should work.

Thank you all .

Dulwich Fox have noted those combinations ,I think I have sometimes inadvertenly hit the Fn button .

Do those combos just affect the touchpad or would they also affect the cusor ?


In the end ,having run a routine maintenance ( and noted that on my settings for this I did not have the " wake my computer up at the scheduled time " button ticked ) things seem ok .


On a different note whatever activates highlighting and correcting of incorrect spelling ,and whatever automatically makes a webaddress appear as a link ( as opposed to something that has to be copied into address bar ) have been disabled .

Predates other issue .

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
