Missing cursor after ending VR

[Rosa3]

Ever since I started using OVR Toolkit, as much as I enjoy the features and such it provides, if I use it and then I end VR (through Steam VR) My cursor becomes invisible. I've noticed it's invisible even whilst using it in VR but that's a very minor problem, as the blue dots in vr basically act as the cursor, even if they don't display properly on my monitors. What is annoying is having to restart my computer if I plan on using it after finishing using VR.

I think the problem may be related with probably not closing the application properly? I haven't had time to test, but I usually end my sessions by using the Steam VR option "End VR" or whatever it is, and that closes OVR Toolkit with it.

Thanks for the help ^^

The cursor disappears as OVR Toolkit uses touchscreen input, when you touch a touchscreen on Windows it removes the cursor as it's not needed. This 'should' come back from clicking the mouse/pressing a keyboard key really!

I'm aware SteamVR terminates the process when it closes the application, giving OVR Toolkit no chance to clean up anything on shutdown. It's possible if the cursor is pointing at a window when you close it maybe that's causing some issue as the cursor is never released?

See if this happens when closing the program manually on your desktop! Let me know! :)

I tried manually closing OVR toolkit and also trying manually closing steamvr via desktop (the main way I find my cursor is if it changes to a | for text or if something highlights), and neither of those things does anything. In fact I managed to navigate to this page (had it minimized and was able to bring it back up) and am currently typing with said missing cursor, so keyboard inputs along with mouse inputs don't seem to be changing anything.

That's very strange!

Are you sure your Windows 10 install is up to date? I believe it has shown the cursor from mouse input for years now, it's essential for laptops that have a touchscreen as you could use either the screen or mouse for input.

If your device has a touch screen, or some touch related settings installed, these could be interfering maybe?
