[SOLVED] Mouse cursor changes randomly

[BenWVU]

My mouse cursor changes to random symbols. It will switch between the hand (like it's on a clickable link, but it's not), the horizontal double arrow (like it's on the edge of a window, but it's not), but usually it's two multicolored 'T's (one right side up, one upside down, about one inch from each other). It changes to other icons too. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what or when it changes once it starts.

I would ask you to backup all critical content from your OS drive, make sure you've run malwarebytes to see if anything has stowed onto your platform and finally reinstall the OS after you've created a bootable installer using Windows Media Creation Tools.

Mind sharing your specs like so:

Which version of Windows 10 are you on?

This actually only happens after playing a game and goes away after a restart.
Malwarebytes has been ran and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Hi

I am getting the exact same issue. I actually reinstalled windows but am still having the problem. Have you managed to sort it yet?

Unfortunately, I haven’t. It hasn’t happened in a while, but I’m sure it will happen eventually.

Same thing is happening to me. Hope we find a solution. Restating is the only fix so far.

Lets see if this works. NVIDIA hotfix:

Man I just put together a new build and am having this issue. My mouse will get stuck on one of my screens. It'll turn invisible, turn in to double arrows, the two T's and the finger. I have to restart to fix it. I'm surprised I was able to find this thread with people having the same issue.

I even reinstalled windows, since it is a new build, and the issue is persisting. I'm really hoping the hotfix drivers above fix the issue. Anyone have any success?

I'm giving this a try, too. Have you had the issue since installing this?

Nope. So far so good.

I also have not had the issue since installing the hotfix, for what it's worth.

I am trying the hotfix now, my temporary fix was turn on pointer trails, this fixed it right away for me but it's unbearable to keep on. I'll let you know how hotfix works
