  1. Windows Pen Crosshair cursor


    I have bought two drawing display tablets and they both do the same thing. I'm using the Concepts drawing app. There's an annoying tiny crosshair cursor that blocks my view of the stroke. I can't work with it in my way. I returned one tablet already and just got another from an entirely different company and it does the same damn thing. I have tried unchecking show cursor as well. Nothing works. This is NOT the application doing this. I have spoken to the developers on Discord already. Please help as it has to be a Microsoft issue. I'm open to even replacing the cursor file with a BLANK cursor

    :)

    Mouse cursor not locked to crosshair in UWP applications

    My mouse cursor isn't locked to my crosshair when I'm unpaused from Minecraft or other apps. I've tried reinstalling and resetting Minecraft, no good. Restarting my PC, no good.

    Resetting UWP apps through Powershell seems to not work either;
    HTML Code:
    Here's a short demonstration of the bug:

    Such a mind boggling issue. Can't find a solution for this problem even on the internet.

    Things I've tried that provided no solution:

    • Resetting/Uninstalling Minecraft
    • Reinstalling UWP apps to their defaults.
    • Shutdown/Restarting my PC.
    • Repairing my computer with SFC and DISM
    • Repairing my PC with Windows Media Installation Tool (Upgrade PC Keep Files Option)
    • Uninstalling/Reinstalling my mouse drivers.
    I have tried recovering from a restore point and it seemed to fix the issue temporarily but the issue returned.

    Drawboard: Pen Cursor Problem

    I need a large pen cursor while using Drawboard. The default one is too small.

    3rd party apps like Pen Attention, Pen Focus, etc., are not able to show pen cursor on Drawboard for some reason!

    So, my question is --

    (1) Is there a way to customize pen cursor in Drawboard - something like a solid, semi-transparent circle?

    (2) Are there any 3rd party pen-cursor-highlighting apps that work with Drawboard?

    Any help is much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Pen Cursor in Javascript Apps

    Hi,

    I noticed a very strange and annoying behavior,

    when a java-script windows app window is not maximized and a pen is hovering the edge of the window,

    the pen cursor then changes to a resize cursor and never changes back unless the pen leaves that window.

    For apps that use the pen as a primary input this behavior is really impacting the user experience negatively.

    Did anyone else experience that? Any idea how to solve that?

    Thx.
