Hello
My mouse cursor has disappeared. It is still active - e.g. I can move it around the screen and when I happen to land on something clickable I see the hand icon. But otherwise the cursor is not visible in it's normal state.
I use windows 8.1 with an HP wireless mouse and I have 2 monitors attached (via HDMI and USB/VGA converter) to my Sony Vaio Multiflip 15 laptop. With all 3 screens (including the laptop) visible and working. The laptop screen is 2880x1680 and the monitors are 1920x1080 and 1280x1024.
After playing around I discovered that in 'control panel > display' I can set the zoom level to 200% (which helps with the h-def display when i'm in just laptop mode) and the mouse cursor becomes visible and working again. But when I set the zoom back to 100% the cursor disappears.
I have tried disconnecting the mouse and using the trackpad and that didn't appear to have any affect.
Any suggestions would be very welcome..
Thanks in advance.
Simon

In the display settings I have "Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays" checked. From 100% - 149% scaling the cursor disappears, but anything from 150% upwards the cursor is visible. Feels like a bug to me rather than a setting I can change (but I'm hoping not....?)
