Mouse pointer disappear while browsing internet on Google Chrome browser

Original Title: Pointer disappears

Hello,

Recently, I've found that my pointer disappears whenever I'm on my default internet browsing site (Google Chrome). I can see it when using Internet Explore though. I have a HP Pavilion x2. I can still use even when I can't see it, which can be useful, but hard to use. I can see it everywhere else. I've tried using the troubleshoot, but it never finds anything wrong.

Manually close all of the open Google Chrome processes in your Task Manager. Restart Chrome. That's all I did and the mouse started working properly. Good luck!

Hi,

There could be some issues with the Google Chrome browser settings.

I would suggest you to un-install and re-install Google Chrome browser and check.

To un-install Google Chrome, you may refer to the following link:

Uninstall, change or repair a program

**http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-8/uninstall-change-program**

To re-install Google Chrome, refer to the following link:

If the issue persist, I would suggest you to post your query on Google Chrome forum support for further assistance.

I already tried this but it didn't work, the only way I have found is restarting Chrome or restarting laptop, I also have uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and the problem comes back, but some times It is not convenient to close chrome specially while working with many tabs open, I think is some incompatibility between Chrome and Windows 8.1

some way to fix this nightmare?

UPDATE:

I think In found the way to restart chrome without loosing your open tabs:

Just type chrome://restart into the address bar and press Enter. However, do not do this if you have Chrome set up to restore a previous session upon restart, otherwise you may find the browser attempts to reload a tab containing ‘chrome://restart’, putting you in an infinite loop of restarting.

If this happens, try editing the Chrome shortcut and adding --disable-restore-session-state to the target entry. Also see: Top 10 Google Chrome tips and tricks. (taken from PC advisor)
