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.

2017-02-09T13:21:15+00:00 Another helpful tip when you do this.
Kill the Chrome process that is using the most amount of memory/cpu first. That's usually the parent Chrome app, and by killing that, the rest will be all killed.
This problem should fix the disappearing cursor issue in most cases, especially if you did not make any changes to the Chrome settings before.
If this persists, you may want to turn off the Hardware Acceleration in the Chrome.
- Open Google Chrome.
- Click Customize and Control Google Chrome > Settings.
- Click on "Show advanced settings" and scroll to the "System" section.
- Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" and restart Google Chrome.
