Mouse Pointer Keeps Changing

Standard Mouse Pointer Randomly Changes

March 19, 2020 10:11:26 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I just purchased/Installed Object Desktop after not using it for over 10 years.  I saw a lot of new features I wanted to use.  Particularly Fences and Groupy.  I have installed Fences, Groupy, Multiplicity, Start10, and SpaceMonger.  I also installed, then removed, DeskScapes, Tiles, WindowBlinds and WindowsFX, all seemed to massively slow down my laptop (Surface Laptop with 16GB RAM).

I use the Standard Windows Pointers "Windows Default (large) (system scheme)".  The cursor is changed to a small icon that is barely visible and where the hotspot doesn't even align to the pointer.  In some cases, it changes to a small dot that is invisible depending on where it is.  This keeps happening and it is making this unusable.

None of the Object Desktop apps I installed are supposed to do anything with the cursor, why is this happening?  It is annoying and very frustrating.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Is this a known issue?  Any assistance before would be appreciated.  The tools are unusable in this state and I will be forced to uninstall them all and request a refund if this cannot be fixed.

I am running Windows Version 2004 (OS Build 19587.1000).  All Object Desktop apps are the latest versions.

 

Thanks.

No.  The only change was installing the software.  I have removed Multiplicity and so far the problem has gone away.  We will see if it remains that way.

I am a heavy user of multiplicity and the primary system  Windows 10 is version 2004 while the secondary system is Windows version 1903. I believe I have narrowed down the problem to multiplicity especially when I access the secondary system then come back to the primary system. In fact, if I repeat that transfer from one system to the other the cursor on the primary system gets smaller and smaller and smaller.

Based on this, I  believe it is related to version Windows 10,  version 2004, as prior to signing up for the slow ring Windows prerelease, I was not experiencing this.

Yes, I have never experienced that on 1909 with Multiplicity and CursorFX. I have 9 secondaries with Multiplicity KVM Pro.  


(Surface Laptop with 16GB RAM).

I also have Windowblinds and WindowFX and I have no slowdown issues.  16 GB DDR4 ram as well.  Your issue may be more CPU related. What is your CPU speed?
