disappearing cursor in High Sierra 10.13.1

Mine disappeared after I connected a monitor and rotate display 270 degrees. It only disappeared on that monitor with display rotation while on the other monitor connected was fine. I tried on of the tips below to adjust mouse cursor size, it worked. Hope it helps~

One tip (from 2012!) is to resize the mouse cursor in Accessibility settings. As I don't have the cursor problem in High Sierra I cannot test this.

Could this be application specific?

The only way I have experienced cursor disappearing is when switching to desktops with a video running in the browser in full screen-and then command-tab or escaping would always restore the cursor.

Same problem, started within hours of installing High Sierra. Right clicking a couple of times usually makes it reappear, but it's inconvenient. Couple that with my iPhone x continually resetting to home screen so that it's now unusable.

Unfortunately, so far none of the helpful suggestions here do anything but make the cursor reappear. Nothing to actually fix the problem, which is cutting into my productivity.

It would be wonderful if Apple Support could offer something that will keep the cursor visible.

My wife and I have just started using two monitors on our Mac Mini (2014) and have had an original wired mouse from 2006 which has never given us trouble. So it doesn't appear to be a mouse issue but does appear to be the upgrade to Sierra possibly complicated by the dual monitor, as we don't always have both turned on. We do have one connected via HDMI cable to a Samsung TV as the main monitor and the other a lightning cable VGA connection. It seems to have just started happening this week and we have been using the dual monitor configuration for over three weeks (late FEB. 2018)... I was going to buy a new mouse thinking the cord was the issue... I'll make sure the dual safari instances isn't the reason (per andre_nlima) and take it from there as our own user error. Thanks for the tip (andre_nlima).

See this discussion, which started in 2012!

Mouse cursor disappears.

There are a few recent tips on the last pages

It's not application specific. I get this kind of problem e.g. whenever an app gets focus and then I try to change desktop.

I tried this and still have the problem

This Sierra to High Sierra update bug is reeking havoc with online gaming; especially "Infinite Tanks".

I may have posted too soon. This trick seemed to help, but it's not 100%. So far, the 4 fingers up gesture is the most reliable way to restore the cursor, but that it vanishes at all is maddening. 😠

My mouse disappears on my vertical monitor. If I increase the cursor size I can see the mouse. It still disappears in text editor apps such as Atom or Bear, though. This is super annoying and easily reproduced. Everyone on 10.13.4 on a vertical monitor is having this exact issue. Please fix (and do better QA)!
