Hello Community,

I am asking this question and hope to get an answer before I go insane :(

Every time i open a fullscreen game like Skyrim or Bf1, i get this notification sound and my mouse freaks out. In Skyrim, for example, the Windows-cursor appears and disrupts the dovahkiin-atmosphere. In Bf1 however, it switches to the sidearm.

If it was only this "ding" sound, I could live with it, but having to tab out of Skyrim in order to get the cursor fixed or dying because I suddenly have a Kolibri in my hand is very frustrating.

I tried turning off different notification sounds in the settings and renaming or displacing some files, but this problem won't go away.

Hopefully someone can help me, because otherwise I'll send my computer on a nice journey down the balcony. :lol:

Thanks in advance!

If you're using a corded/wired USB mouse try using a replacement mouse. Your mouse's USB cable may have developed an intermittent break in the wiring.
