Can't see my mouse pointer while playing full screen on some games

I have been running Windows 10 for a while and I recently tried to launch an old game that I haven't played in ages (Minecraft). For some reason I can navigate on the menu, but I can't see where I'm clicking. My mouse is invisible, but only when the game is in full screen.

Things I've already tried:

  • Disabling pointer trail and everything related to areo (back to basic)

  • Creating another user (in case my account was corrupted)

  • Changing my resolution to minimum than lunch the game

  • Updating my mouse drivers (R.A.T.S 5)

  • Updating my graphic card's drivers

  • Troubleshooting the game

  • Running the game as administrator

  • Trying on another monitor

I have no idea what else I could try to see my mouse while playing Minecraft; otherwise it's very hard to play.


Solution 1:

This can be caused by a setting in the "f.lux" software (at least, it was for me). This could be fixed if you turn off "Software mouse cursor when needed (fixes "white cursor").

Solution 2:

I had the same issue and I found out that it was caused by the pointer trails being displayed. If you have that setting enabled, try disabling it as it worked for me.

Solution 3:

Can I just say I restarted minecraft with no changes and it worked. If the suggestions before didnt help, sometimes restarting might just do the job
