Windows 10: cursor freezes / disappears after sleep

[BadMudda]

Hello,

My cursor on Windows 10 seems to freeze / disappear every time when I wake up my laptop from a 'sleep' state. Sometimes it takes multiple reboots to get the cursor back. I have seen other posts online about this problem, but unable to find a fix. I am almost tempted to go back to Windows 8, which used to work OK for me. Do you have any suggestions? Details listed below. Thanks in advance!!

Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit
Hardware: Sony Viao Laptop
Model # SVS1313AGXB
Synaptics Touchpad driver screen attached below. The "Update Driver" button is disabled.
No drivers listed for Windows 10 at

Here is how I fixed this problem in windows 10

Control Panel
Hardware and Sound
Mouse

Select Hardware tab.

Select your mouse from the list and click properties.

UNCHECK allow this device to wake the computer.

Restart

Bizarrely this does not stop the computer waking on the movement of the mouse but it does cure the
problem with the mouse not responding on wake up
