[SOLVED] Mouse Cursor Invisible In-Game
In full-screen games on Steam my mouse cursor is invisible. It works as it normally would, but isn't visible. Games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Skyrim with a cursor built in to the game work fine, but I cannot navigate the Steam overlay correctly.

This originally only occurred on my laptop, which I usually plug a monitor into. The probably only happened when the monitor was unplugged, but recently the problem started happening even with the monitor. I have not changed anything that comes to mind related to my setups.

In several other threads on this topic I've seen advice to disable pointer trails and pointer shadows, both of which I have done.

Any useful information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using Windows 8.1, and the Magnifier is disabled.

I've solved the problem.

I needed to disable the laptop's screen completely.

It was visible only on the laptop's screen; and not the desktop's?

Seems that way. I'm not sure why it would behave like that, but at least it's solved.
