I have a Toshiba Satellite and I'm running windows 10. I've tried pressing F5 and FN+F5 but nothing happens. I've had a look on various blog and all the advice seems to start with "go here", "go to this menu" etc but I have no idea how to go anywhere without a mouse. Any ideas?
Can you do a Ctrl + Alt + Del ?
Hi snoopy51, yes I can but why do you think that would work?
It is just a test for keyboard. The answer is Mouse Keys:
Mousekeys = LeftAlt+LeftShift+NumLock. Press and hold until something happens.
Now you can move around with the mouse keys!
Read this link, shows you keyboard commands you can use, to try, so maybe you can re-install your mouse driver.

If snoopy51 suggestion don't work. Reinstall mouse driver.
Another approach is to use another mouse. I did with a wired mouse. After it is fully operational, I re-installed the mouse driver! You can download the mouse driver from the vendor!
Or
- Press Windowskey, type devicemngr and press Enter
- Press Tabto switch to devices list
- Use your arrow keys to reach toMice and other pointing devicesand press right arrow key to expand it
- Press down arrow key to select your mouse
- Press Shift + F10to simulate the right-click and open the context menu
- Select Update driverwith arrow keys and press Enter
- Follow installation instructions
I can now see the cursor but it isn't moving. Am I just supposed to press the arrow keys on the number pad to move it?
I just tried the instructions in you no.6 post snoopy. They were very clear - thank you! But it says that my driver software is up to date.
Sorry - just realised I was supposed to do that after installing another mouse which I don't have.
No other suggestions? I use my laptop as a laptop - I could buy a mouse but it wouldn't be easy to use, I'd rather have the mousepad working.
