    Mouse cursor disappears in some apps when typing not others


    One of my users is complaining that their mouse disappears and it's annoying trying to find it. In testing I have found it to happen in both Windows 10 and 11. In Word, Publisher, and notepad. It's happening in Office 2016, 2019, and 2021.I looked around and disabled "Hide my cursor when typing" from the mouse settings and disabling hardware acceleration in Word with no success. It's almost like these programs are ignoring the setting?Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Cursor disappears while typing in text box

    *Original Title: cursor and text box issues

    After clicking in a text box, the cursor disappears if the mouse/cursor moves anywhere but in the same text box. I cannot click in the text box and write unless I make sure the mouse is held in the same box. Windows 10

    any suggestions?

    Mouse cursor disappears.

    My cursor disappears and typing stops. This happens in all applications. Mouse driver is current, I have tried all the troubleshooting I could find.

    Mouse Cursor vanishes

    Since upgrading to W10, my wireless mouse pointer keeps disappearing. Also, if typing, the place is lost. The cursor is disappearing to the right of the screen Moving the mouse brings it back. I have tried many suggestions to fix the problem but to no
    avail. The same problem happens with a USB mouse. It must be a software bug as the mouse works perfectly in Linux.
