This one problem might appear if you accidentally freeze the touchpad (freezing). To activate it again, you only need to press the function key (between F1-F12) and then press it together with the Fn key. For example Fn+F9.

As for Windows 10, click the Windows button >> Settings and click Device >> select Mouse & Touchpad >> click Additional Mouse Options at the bottom.

How to Overcome Cursor Loading Continues

There is also a cursor problem with a tendency to load continuously. This could be due to CPU usage up to 100% so that the laptop/computer lags/freezes.

3. Right-click the desktop, select Personalize

So far, the problem is not over because we have to reduce the CPU workload to return to normal. How to remove running programs that are not important.

1. Right-click on the desktop taskbar (it’s on the bottom tab).
2. Then Start Task Manager.
3. Go to the Processes tab  .
4. See the performance of your computer’s CPU.
5. Kill suspicious processes and use the most CPU by clicking End Process .

How to Overcome Cursor Overwriting

There is another problem with the cursor which tends to overwrite the text. This means that if the cursor button is usually a straight pipe symbol (|) then this cursor changes to (_).

Or it could be something like this, if usually when you click on a text it will place itself between the letters, then this time it’s different in that it blocks the letters (not in between). 

Furthermore, when there is an error in writing and we delete it, then the previous letter is missing, and so on so that it cannot be revised because the typo is not what we mean.

The point is confusing.

To overcome this, it is quite simple. You just need to press the Ins (Insert) button on the keyboard, and your cursor will return to normal.

So, the secret is like this there is a tendency for the Insert button behavior (often shortened to INS) to change the keyboard input system. 

System replacement can be in the form of inserting (Insert) or using the Overtype mode (Symbolized by OVR) which will replace the character where the cursor is active).

Those are some ways to fix Mouse cursor problems. Thank you, hopefully back to normal.
