Why Does The Cursor Freezes Up On The Computer

The answer is pretty simple. All computer crashing and hanging problems occur because of similar reasons.

Not just the cursor but also windows, programs and everything can crash if your computer is not up to date. Or has a lot of junk files, downloads, pictures and useless information. Or you do not do any computer maintenance. (It does not refer to cleaning your keyboard).

Steps to take now:

Clean the Junk from your computer by following:

Removing temporary internet files using Disk cleanup.

Removing unwanted (you do not use) folders, files, shortcuts, software, games, programs, icons, images, videos, downloads and all you can find on your computer that is useless. However delete only things you that you know they are safe to be removed.

That should not only fix the cursor that hangs but also improve your computer performance. Cleaning your computer, maintaining it in good shape will ensure it never crashes and works at its best.

Your cursor freezes when the computer has problems. If problems occur often it is because your computer is not at its best performance.

In rare cases it can be a spyware/adware or some critical objects. So you need to scan your computer with an anti adware and spyware software and also with an antivirus software.

Temporary Solution

1) Click Start, then Click Control Panel

3) Enable the cursor trail

You will be able to see your mouse, even after the original cursor freezes on screen.
