Windows 10: Mouse cursor disappears on wireless display

I have a new Win11 desktop, and I've used the Wireless Display option to extend the desktop to an older Win10 laptop. When I move the mouse to the wireless display, the mouse cursor disappears. It's still there, because I can see where it highlights items in the taskbar when I move it down then side to side, and I can click on those items as well. The cursor is just invisible whenever it's moved to the wireless display. I've checked all the settings that I can find, but I don't see any cause of this. My searches haven't been able to find any threads with a match to this issue. Any sugges

:)

 

Cursor / Mouse disappeared

Hi Alexa, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your computer's cursor disappearing. Let's try some basic troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue. First, check to make sure that your mouse or trackpad is connected properly to your computer. If you're using a wireless mouse, try replacing the batteries or charging it. You might also want to try using a different mouse or trackpad, if available, to see if the problem persists.

If those steps don't work, try updating your computer's drivers, which can sometimes help resolve issues with hardware components like your mouse. Alternatively, booting your computer in safe mode can help isolate the issue by disabling certain software that may be causing the problem.

I hope these suggestions help you get your cursor back up and running. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know.

Best regards,

John D.

Erratic or disappearing cursor with wireless mouse (mice)

I have seen numerous complaints but no solutions for wireless mice/mouse problems in Windows 10. The problem has existed for me since last fall 2016. I have tried 3 wireless mice including a Microsoft wireless mobile mouse 4000 and 2 Logitech mice M305 and
M325. The Microsoft mouse is sluggish and the cursor takes a second to catch up with the mouse movement (erratic). Both Logitech mice have the disappearing cursor problem. I also checked both mice for current drivers.

The problems are not every day or all day. I can be USING the computer and the cursor disappears or becomes erratic/sluggish. Or the cursor will disappear after sleep.

I reset my computer 1 month ago which is time consuming and didnt help. I had no problem activating Windows after the reset, but had to reinstall many programs. And I did check for new drivers for both mice after resetting.

Please help

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.
