# Mouse cursor invisible in Remote Desktop Manager

Mouse cursor invisible in Remote Desktop Manager sessions is a known Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime issue, fixed by disabling Hide pointer while typing.

The mouse pointer may become invisible while using Remote Desktop Manager, even though it remains visible and functional everywhere else in the operating system.

This behavior is caused by a [known issue](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/5687) in the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime (version 152.0.4191.x), which Remote Desktop Manager uses for some of its components. WebView2 incorrectly keeps the mouse pointer flagged as hidden once it has been hidden by the ***Hide pointer while typing*** setting, causing the pointer to stay invisible across the whole application window.

At the time of writing, no official fix has been released by Microsoft. A permanent resolution depends on Microsoft shipping an updated WebView2 Runtime.

### Solution

Disable the Windows setting that triggers the WebView2 bug:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel and go to the ***Mouse*** properties.
2. In the **Pointer Options** tab, disable ***Hide pointer while typing*** and click ***Apply***.
3. Restart Remote Desktop Manager.

This disables the mechanism that WebView2 is misusing, so the pointer stays visible in Remote Desktop Manager. Once Microsoft ships a fixed runtime, you can re-enable this option if you prefer.

If disabling this setting does not resolve the issue, or for updates on this WebView2 bug, see the [Microsoft Edge WebView2Feedback issue](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/5687).

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/troubleshooting-articles/mouse-cursor-invisible-in-remote-desktop-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
