  1. Why is my mouse pointer a small black dot when connected remotely?


    Good Day,I work from home but remotely connect to my computer at our facility. I use the remote connection app called "VNC Viewer". Now, when I am on my computer at home and not my computer at our facility, my mouse pointer is perfectly normal. However, when I remote connect to my computer at our facility, my mouse pointer turns into a small, black square. It has not always been like this, but for some reason this starter about two months ago and whatever type of pointer I try to set it to through the remote connection, it always stays as the small, black square.Anyone know how I can fix

    :)

  2. MOUSE POINTER-SIZE-BRIGHTNESS-VISIBILITY

    Or, if you like to see how to do it in Windows 7:

    1. Start button (bottom left)
    2. Control Panel
    3. Hardware and sound
    4. Mouse
    5. The Pointers tab
    6. Under scheme, select the pointer you want
    I use the Windows Black Extra Large

    A suggestion:

    on the Pointer options tab

    Check the box next to automatically move the pointer to the default button

  3. Mouse Pointer

    Hi,

    You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
    • Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
    • Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
      Apply > OK.

    If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
    Browse.

    Update us if it addressed your issue.

    Why is my mouse pointer a small black dot when connected remotely?

    Mouse Pointers

    I have changed my mouse pointer to a large black arrow. Named the theme and saved it

    Frequently I boot up or start an application and the pointer has changed to the default theme. My named theme is in the list and I an select it and I have the large black arrow back. Can I make this theme persistent or make it default?
