  1. Sticking cursor


    After typing a message in Whatsapp, I've noticed that the cursor sticks in one position if I try to scroll through it to correct a mistake or change a word. Once I release the key, the cursor will shoot forward or backward by several words.Anyone have an idea why this is happening? I have downloaded the latest version of Whatsapp from the Microsoft store.

    :)

    cursor dissappeared

    Thank you both for your prompt replies, I tried all steps listed, some I had tries previously but I still tried them again, but still no cursor.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Windows 10 - Mouse cursor sticks to edge between multiple monitors

    I did get a suggestion that worked: Open the Display settings, use you mouse to drag either the leftmost or right most monitor icon (I have two monitors and a laptop, which is the center monitor) away from the center monitor icon, then release. That forces
    the icon to 'snap back' to the center monitor icon. The cursor stops sticking after you do that. If I disconnect the laptop to travel, etc., the problem sometimes reoccurs but is corrected by just repeating the steps. .
