    Mouse pointer disappears on wake from sleep


    Recently my mouse pointer has been disappearing when the system wakes in Windows 10 Pro. I can still see it highlighting when moving the mouse and the dialog open with a right click. It only comes back if I open the Task Manager or a separate window. Strangely if I manually put the computer to sleep through the power menu this issue does not seem to appear, it only shows when the computer sleeps after the allotted time.

    Not sure if this is an issue with Nvidia Drivers or a Windows Update.

    Any ideas on what might cause this or how to fix it?

    Same thing happening with my PC, especially lately. It previously would happen only once or twice in a month; it's happened now several times in the past day.

    Hello from six years in the future. I fixed this issue by changing the resolution on my computer.
