  1. First things first, try the all-time favorite method of \u2018switching it on and off again\u2019. The vanishing mouse can be an issue due to the fact the Windows may have disabled your mouse during the upgrade from the previous version. In order to \u2018wake up\u2019 the mouse, try re-enabling your mouse. There are different methods to do this too:When you are using a laptop and the mouse doesn\u2019t show, try the combination of Fn+F3, F5, F9 or F11. The decision of which F key to use depends on the model of our computer, so you might want to consider digging up that laptop manual. This key combination will turn on\/off your mouse in an attempt to re-enable it.<\/li>\n
  2. If the first one doesn\u2019t work, try again.<\/li>\n
  3. And if that doesn\u2019t work try getting to the mouse settings manually, using your keyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
