[bug] Mouse cursor disappears when in Steam

[arcade]

Mouse Cursor disappears when interacting with the Steam Window. it functions normally inside all games, and all other programs I have so far as I can tell, but just interacting with steam causes the cursor to disappear visually. It's still "there" and I can use my mouse as if the cursor was working, I just can't see it.

Checked this?

                                                    EDIT:

For some reason this doesn't work, so here's the info from Google Cache.[webcache.googleusercontent.com]

Missing mouse cursor or pointer in-game
Mouse cursor does not display in-game in Windows Vista or Windows 7


Please disable pointer trails for your mouse
Start > Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options tab
Uncheck the Display pointer trails box
If you are using Windows 7, make sure the Magnifier is disabled:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Ease of Access > Ease of Access Center
Click on Make the computer easier to see
Uncheck the Turn on Magnifier box and click OK

I've checked that, doesn't seem to work. My mouse cursor DOES display in-game, it just doesn't display when i'm interacting with Steam

Have you tried disabling display scaling from Steam's properties should you have that enabled?

[arcade]

Yes, and that hasn't solved the issue either.

I may have cracked it!!!

"Solution: Turn off Tablet Mode indefinetly (works for me). Go to Control Panel -> System -> Tablet Mode -> First option set to "Use Desktop Mode" -> Second Option "Don't ask me and don't switch" "

I wanted to bring attention to this. It happens to me and none of the things referenced in this thread lead me to a solution only because it wasn't applicable. If i "exit" steam and restart, it will fix the issue. I can't simply close the window. Has this resurfaced for anyone?

My mouse seems to randomly not show on top of Steam (even if it's minimized), even though it still functions on the screen.

I should also mention that sometimes when I Win+Tab on windows 10, Steam mostly doesn't show up up even though it's on and will show up in alt+tab.

I get the issue of the mouse disappearing as well, it works in game but not in Steam, I have Tablet mode turned off too.

I've noticed that switching to a different steam tab, like store or something, will bring your mouse back.

my god, same thing happening to me too

[bulletshowerr]

Me too. Still looking for a solution.

Fixed it: my mouse trials need to be disabled. Steam cant handle it.

Had the same issue. I went to mouse settings - pointer options, see the section on visibility - I ticked on 'Show location of pointer when I press CTRL key'.

Hope it works for you all!
