I have a Lenovo laptop my cursor has disappeared on my screen, and I don't know why! I can't make or change any activities that are needed for the program that it is stuck on. I've turned my computer off and on hoping the cursor comes back.

If above does not work. Try FN+F10 This also activates and deactivates the Track-Pad. The cursor might be frozen some ware were you don't notice it because it is not moving. When you use a Mouse it might be nice to turn of the Track-Pad so you don't move the Cursor by mistake.
Looking up a solution for this I found this on the Lenova site.
If it's just lately, can you try one of the following:
Disable "hide pointer while typing" under Control Panel (large icon view) > Mouse > Pointer Options Tab and enable "Show location of pointer when I press CTRL key"
Uninstall the Touchpad Driver (ELAN or Synaptics) under Control Panel > Programs and reboot. Upon logging back in, Windows will use a generic touchpad driver. Try to observe the mouse pointer behavior and observe (you can always re-install the touchpad driver by navigating to D:\Drivers\Touchpad or by downloading the driver from the Lenovo website).
Boot in Safe Mode with Networking and observe the mouse pointer behavior. If all goes well, perform a clean boot and observe. If the same problem, perform a System Restore in safe mode to undo any possible updates that were installed on the system (ensure that you make a backup copy of your files).
I had a similar problem on my Yoga12 Laptop. First of all, the solution for people with a similar laptop:
Put the lid backwards to put the Yoga into tablet mode, wait for it to say "automatic rotation activated" or show in some other way that it's in tablet mode. Then open the lid back to normal laptop usage position and the pointer will appear again once you move a mouse/touchpad.
The reason why the pointer disappeared was that the trackpad somehow got deactivated (while doing a simple Win+L and logging back in, for me).
If you do not have such a laptop where you can switch to tablet mode, go to your mouse settings. It's called Mouse Properties (Touchpad Clickpad Trackpad Trackpoint Mouse Pointer) in the Win10 start menu). There, the rightmost tab - or maybe it's a different one for you - contains the option to activate/deactivate the trackpad. toggle it to activated.
If this does not help. Try plugging in a different Mouse. Does the pointer reappear? If yes, then your trackpad driver might be the problem.
I tried all the above options on my Lenovo Flex 5 laptop and was not able to figure out the issue. After several trial finally I got the solution. Apparently the Touchpad was off. You can easily fix this by searching Touchpad option on start menu. Click on "Turn off the Touchpad menu". A window will open that will show if the touchpad is 'On' or 'Off'.
Hit the Ctrl + F6 keys at the same time and your cursor pops back up. A quick fix for me.
