This month’s massive Windows 11 2024 Update comes with all kinds of helpful new features and improvements, but the problematic rollout leaves a lot to be desired. Microsoft certainly dropped the ball.
Just last week, we reported on the fact that Windows 11 24H2 is causing blue screens and various other issues. But now, another puzzling issue has reared its head: disappearing mouse pointers.
Windows Latest reports that a bug in Windows 11 24H2 is causing the mouse cursor to disappear in text input fields. Specifically, it’s been seen happening in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Slack, Spotify, along with several other apps that rely on Chromium.

To be clear, you’ll be able to see the mouse cursor just fine when, say, moving it across the screen; the problem only occurs when you interact with text input fields. For example, the cursor disappears and is completely empty when you move it towards the address bar in Chrome or Edge. Likewise when you try to search for songs on Spotify.
Some users have tried to resolve the issue by reinstalling touchpad drivers, switching to a USB mouse, and reinstalling mouse drivers — none of them proved successful.
What to do if you’re affected by this bug
If this issue is bothering you and you want a temporary workaround, you can tweak a mouse-related setting in the Windows Control Panel.

In Mouse Properties, navigate to the Pointers tab, then look under the Customize section. Scroll down to Text Select, click it, and then click the Browse… button:
