Two Cursors

[-SharonA-]

I seem to have two cursors. It is very annoying and just cannot find a way to delete the second cursor which is blinking up on the left by the recycle bin.
I have a HP pavillion with windows 10. I have tried going into my cursors file, but nothing helps.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Switching it off then on again doesn't help ?

Is your HP Pavilion a touchscreen model? If so, disabling the touchscreen driver might well fix the problem. (These instructions are for Windows 8 but it should be much the same for W10: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Software-and-How-To-Questions/How-to-Disable-the-touch-screen-for-HP-Pavilion-in-windows-8/td-p/3593265 )

First are you using a separate mouse (or the touch pad) second have you got HP assistant loaded? If both answers are yes, then download HP assistant again install it and do a restart.

Thanks for all advice. Waited until son came and we tackled this together. He deleted something and second cursor now gone. It was literally a blinking nuisance!!

What was it he deleted Sharon? If you don't know could you ask him? It may help other people in the future.
