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!

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.

2015-07-22T03:35:03+00:00 Freakin unbelievable. Do you know that I was on with HP Tech Support for 2 1/2 hours trying to fix this and all they did was also disable the touchpad as well!!! And then they said they had to have a Supervisor get back to me within 24-48 hours and basically purge the whole thing and reinstall all programs blah blah blah! I got the touchpad to work myself within 5 seconds after hanging up with them but I couldn't get the cursor to stop disappearing when I would click in the center "browser" on the desktop and it would go up to the top "browser" (I and tech challenged LOL). But can you believe this sh_t? Of course I was talking to somebody in India. Sorry if I offend anyone saying this but the truth hurts. I am so pissed. I can't wait for them to call in F___ing 24-48 hours. They are going to wish they didn't call!
