Game shows a spinning mouse cursor when playing
When I play MGSV:GZ and also MGSV:TPP/MGO3 I get a mouse cursor over the screen in a blue loading status and it's disturbing my gameplay. how can I get rid of that? it shows it even when I play with a DualShock 4 Controller (most of the time I play with mouse+keyboard).
Any help on fixing it would be really appreciated!

Have you tried unplugging all peripherals except for mouse and keyboard?

I have a couple of imitation SNES controllers that make the game completely freak out when they're plugged in.

That has happened periodically with me, but it's never been permanent. Any time it's happened I've just ALT-TAB to another window and use the mouse to activate the MGSV window again and it's gone. I've never heard of it being there constantly and never going away.

Are there no permanent fix to this issue? any patch/doing something in .ini file or something that can be done so it'll go away? it's coming every time now and then but on GZ it always present... I Don't want to ALT+TAB it just redicolus to do it every few minuts...

It shouldn't happen every few minutes. When it happens with me, it's so far and few in between. I'm talking maybe once or twice every few weeks. If you're getting it constantly, something is wrong. Not sure what, but something. It's just showing your cursor, so maybe something in the settings? I don't think so, but possibly.

Do you have any external programs regarding cursor or mouse? That's what it is though, it's a cursor, but whey it keeps coming back every few minutes is anyone's guess.

Have you tried running the game in a different screen setting (Fullscreen, borderless, etc.)?

Did you customize your Windows mouse pointer/cursor *in any way whatsoever* (Appearance, clicklock, that sort of thing)? If you did, set it back to default.

Close DS4Windows, if you got one. That worked for me.

This maybe a stupid and "band-aid" solution but if it appears, just move the cursor to the right most of the screen without clicking anything, it's not noticable to be annoying.
