    Is it a Dell by any chance?

    Yeah that's the Num Lock icon, nothing suspicious.

    If the mouse stops working when it appears, thats another issue. Try turning Num Lock on/off to see if the mouse response is really tied to the Num Lock state.

    Are you using the trackpad to control the mouse? Most laptops have a Fn key combo to turn off the trackpad (so you don't keep hitting it when typing). Maybe investigate whether that restores mouse control?

    Dust, arch-nemesis of computers since 1982.

    Glad you got it sorted!
