Cursor Frozen At Startup?
Excuse my paranoia, but please help me D:

So I turned on my laptop and noticed my cursor was frozen. This is the first time it has happened.

Should I be worried about this? Is this a virus or something in my computer? Something wrong with a driver?


Thanks!

Does restarting yield the same problem?
Did you disable your touchpad? (are you using a mouse?)
What were you doing recently before this problem?

It went back to normal after I restarted the computer.
I don't know how to disable the touchpad so no.
Everything was normal before this happened. I turned off the computer earlier.

You might have disabled it by accident.
Its one of your function keys somewhere on your keyboard.

usually, you have to press the "fn" key and while holding it, you have to press a function key (could be any from F1 to F11, depending on your PC, to disable your touchpad). in my case, it's FN + f4
