Quick Fixes
Alt + Tab → Minimize and restore the game.

Press Esc twice (opens/closes the menu, often forces the cursor to reappear).

Toggle Fullscreen Mode:

Go to Settings → Video → Display Mode → Switch between Fullscreen and Windowed (or Borderless).

Advanced Solutions
1. Disable Raw Input
In CS2: Settings → Game → Raw Input → Set to OFF.

Why? Sometimes raw input conflicts with the cursor.

2. Enable/Disable Steam Overlay
Disable: Steam → Settings → In-Game → Uncheck Enable Steam Overlay.

Re-enable it if already off (toggling may reset the cursor).

3. Update Mouse Drivers
Open Device Manager → Mice and other pointing devices → Right-click your mouse → Update driver.

If using Logitech/Razer/etc., install the manufacturer’s software (e.g., G Hub, Synapse).

4. Launch Options
Right-click CS2 in Steam → Properties → Add:

plaintext
-nojoy -nod3d9ex
Note: -nojoy disables joystick input (can interfere), -nod3d9ex fixes some rendering bugs.

5. Delete CS2 Config Files
Navigate to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YourID]\730\local\cfg
Back up then delete:

config.cfg

video.txt

Why? Corrupted settings can hide the cursor.

6. Check for Conflicting Software
Close:

Overwolf/Discord overlays.

MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner.

Screen-recording apps (OBS, ShadowPlay).

If Nothing Works
Reinstall CS2: Uninstall → Delete leftover files in steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive → Reinstall.

Test Another Mouse: Rule out hardware issues.

Why This Happens
CS2’s fullscreen mode can "trap" the cursor.

Driver conflicts or corrupted settings.

Overlays (Steam/Discord) interfering.

Let me know if the cursor comes back! 🖱️🔫

(P.S. For Razer mice: Try disabling "Hypershift" in Synapse.)

Not fullscreen windows, but fullscreen
