Here are some things you can do to get your cursor back on your Acer laptop screen if it has disappeared:

Check if your touchpad is enabled. On some Acer laptops, the touchpad can be disabled by pressing the Fn key and a function key (usually F6, F7, or F9). To check if your touchpad is enabled, press the Fn key and each of the function keys until you see the touchpad icon light up.

Check your cursor visibility settings. In Windows 10, you can change the cursor visibility settings to make it easier to see. To do this, go to Settings > Ease of Access > Display and under Cursor & pointer, make sure that Show location of pointer when I press CTRL key is checked.

Update your mouse driver. If your mouse driver is outdated, it can cause problems with the cursor. To update your mouse driver, go to the website of your mouse manufacturer and download the latest driver for your model.

Restart your laptop. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor problems with your laptop, including a disappearing cursor.

Run the Windows troubleshooter. Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can help you fix problems with your mouse. To run the troubleshooter, go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot and under Hardware and devices, click Run the troubleshooter.

If you have tried all of these things and your cursor is still missing, you may need to contact Acer support for further assistance.

Here are some additional tips for getting your cursor back on your screen:

If you have a wired mouse, unplug it from the computer and then plug it back in.

If you have a wireless mouse, make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly and that the mouse is in range of the receiver.

Try using a different mouse to see if the problem is with your mouse or with your laptop.

If you are using a laptop, try connecting it to an external monitor to see if the cursor appears on the external monitor.

I hope this helps!

If you are using a laptop, you should try pressing the key combination on your laptop keyboard that can turn on/off your mouse. Usually, it is the Fn key plus F3, F5, F9 or F11 (it depends on the make of your laptop, and you may need to consult your laptop manual to find it out).
