I wont go into hardware detail unless its needed.
I've never had this issue before cant find anything new on goggle.

Everything is fine Windows 10, screen extended desktop.
Works fine for ages then i suddenly notice, possibly after monitors go to sleep,m that the pointer vanished when i move to the left hand (number2) screen. I can still find myself by slowly hovering over icons but my god its annoying...

Anyone ever had this.? As far as im aware nothing has updated or changed....
 
Haven't seen this at all... But I've seen the "mouse works but no pointer" issue when using Xbox controller as a mouse. I had to make a registry edit and plug in a dongle (from a broken wireless mouse).

I'll dig out the registry edit in case it helps. Would the option to hit ctrl and show pointer be useful?

Could be related I have an Xbox controller plugged in...

I'll give this a read when it next happens.
Thnx for the help
 
I thought this had fixed itself but.....

Happening wehen the monitors go to sleep, it comers back broken, mouse pointer utterly garbled sometimes....

Im guessing Nvidia drivers.
