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 .

    • You keep insisting that you're "just stating facts", but so far, most of what you've shared isn't fact - it's just your personal opinion, framed with hostility.  Foxes aren't classified as "vermin" in the UK. They're wild animals protected under the Animal Welfare Act & the Wildlife & Countryside Act . & Yes, they do play a vital role in controlling rodent population. The more you double down on insults & misinformation, the more you discredit your own argument. It's possible to be fed up & still informed. Take the information provided to you & do something about it. BTW culling doesn't even work.
    • It’s hardly likely you know that for a fact Sue
    • I know an instance where the foxes quickly learned how to avoid such devices. 
    • I did read the comments above It's not moaning, it's stating facts. Tell you what,  you can come and clear up the near daily fox crap and see how you like dealing with it, no didn't think that would appeal to you.  Do they control rodents?  Foxes are vermin.  It's an emotive topic for some, I realise that, however the facts are foxes are a pest.
