    when I'm moving my cursor it frequently darts around the screen

    Can't see cursor on startup screen


    This is happening on 2 laptops. Both have a startup screen with options of W10 and W10 Safe Mode.

    After upgrading to W10 the cursor does not show for selection between the options. It is still possible to move over the mouse or touchpad and move from one option to the other, but it's a bit hit and miss.

    We had the same startup options in W8.1 and no problems with the cursor so it's definitely W10 related.

    Any suggestions?
