Windows 10: I have 2 text cursors NOT mouse cursors on my screen. How can I get rid of one?

I have 2 text cursors NOT mouse cursors on my screen whenever I type anything. This occurs regardless of what program I am using, although it is easiest to see the extra "ghost" cursor as I call it on Facebook because of the black background. Below is a photo with both cursors circled. The correct cursor is where it should be in the text box. The ghost cursor moves along at the same pace as I type, always maintaining the same distance off to the left and above where I am typing. When I am typing on a screen with a mostly white background, I can only see the ghost cursor as it passes ov

Black Screen with working mouse cursor but not keyboard

It is frozen or just black screen in Safe mode ?
might try to repair Windows by an installation DVD or a USB stick

 

Enlarged Cursor with new AMD 7790

Update....

[Update] - I rebooted and it kept the fixed settings. I still had a large 'finger' cursor though. I went back into Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization and into Change Mouse Pointers, and then I clicked on the 'Link Select' cursor and clicked the 'Use Default' button. When I did that the 'finger' cursor went back to normal size.

I also had the same problem with still having a large text select mouse cursor. But weirdly clicking on the 'Link Select' cursor and then the 'Use Default' button doesn't fix the Text select cursor at all! But, I'm a lot happier with all but one of the mouse cursors being normal sized *Smile .

The scenarios as tested are:
- The problem only affects my HDMI connected flat-screen when connected to the AMD HD7790
- I have my desktop extended across both screens (using the same AMD7790) and only the HDMI screen has the large mouse cursor issue
- The built in motherboard graphics (Intel HD4000) run in the same fashion doesn't have a problem at all. The cursors are all fine.
- I can reliably make the problem happen by changing the Samsung 2494HS to the HDMI connector on the AMD HD7790, with no other changes.

From all of this I can only conclude that:
- The problem is something to do with either the AMD HD7790 video card drive, or
- The problem is with the firmware (or hardware) of the HDMI part of HD7790 chipsets (as shown in post #38 above - Enlarged Cursor with new AMD 7790)

Hope that AMD find out what the issue is as its quite annoying....

No mouse cursor

Hi,

It is possible that the system did not recognize the mouse of your computer after it booted up. This can be the reason why you do not see the mouse cursor. Kindly perform a power cycle to refresh the power of the computer. To do this, follow these steps:

• Shutdown the computer.
• After shutting it down, remove the battery (if you're using a laptop) and disconnect the computer from the charger.
  
• Wait for 1 minute.
• After 1 minute, attach the battery and turn on the computer.
• Check if you will see the mouse cursor.

Let us know how it goes.
