Two Cursors While Playing...
So disconnecting from the internet works to resolve the extra Windows cursor when [Steam] Skyrim is minimized then brought into focus, but after todays update I still have to go offline to stop the cursors from melding onto the same screen. Has anyone else had luck with this latest update that fixed it for them? I am curious to know if it fixed it for a majority and to see if I am an affected minority at this point.

Two excerpts from the last Steam client update:
---Windows: Ensure that we try to forcefully take window focus back on game exit, which deals with some cases where games with launchers could lead windows to restore focus to a random non-Steam window
---Windows: Performance improvements for the in-game overlay in D3D9ex, D3D10, D3D10.1, and D3D11 game

In Skyrim, before you alt+tab out to do something else, open your inventory. Problem solved.

This completely eliminates the problem.

That mod is slightly out of date. You should use this instead:

Yeah, this method never worked for me as I have seen it work for many. It has to be something I did different with my install or something? I have no idea.

Thanks for the tip !

This is just stupid. Apparently, there is no fix for the dual cursors on my end without turning off my wi-fi adapter or using Xbox 360/1 controllers. UGH! If anyone finds an alternate fix for this in the near future please let me know. Thank you!

Wait Ilja, does that mean if I have OneTweak I can uninstall showracemenu precache killer?

Yes.

I was under the impression that precache killer solution was included with RaceMenu in version 2.7.0. Multiply hairmods should no longer get loaded all at once and crash the game.

I did not find a direct mention about it from changelog, so I might be wrong.

It is done. After uninstalling and reinstalling Skyrim, all mods, then SKSE followed by the onetweak.ini install, everything is working. No more double cursors (only by launching via SKSE)! Everyone... Thank You!
