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

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.

Hey Everyone ---- FINALLY --- I have found a fix for this issue! Just watch this video --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA\_oKgGynkI

Basicly, just go to Mouse settings in the control panel, --> pointer options --> UN-SELECT HIDE MOUSE CURSOR WHILE TYPING. ---- I know your mouse has disappeared even when you were not typing, but this seriously fixed my problem. My mouse has not disappeared since.

Someone go in, delete all of the canned answers from Microsoft and mark THIS as the correct answer. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't do anything. "Repair" pretty much never works (any systems engineer knows that).

This fixed it on a laptop I've been working on.
