Constantly disappearing cursor I have a brand new MacBook Air. It is very frustrating that this very expensive computer cannot perform such a simple function as to have the cursor work properly. I have not been able to find a solution. My cursor disappears EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn on my computer. What the heck? I am up to date on updates

cursor disappearing randomly Hello Everyone, I have an early 2015 13 inch macbook pro with an intel core i5 processor running Mojave version 10.14.6 and lately I've been having a minor recurring issue with my cursor. Sometimes when I open a program installed on my computer or open a new window, my cursor will randomly disappear for anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. As of right now my temporary solution is hitting the power button to put it in sleep mode and turn it back on again and this usually is working for me as the cursor will often reappear. However, I just wanted to know what might be causing this issue and if its something wrong with the hardware or just a glitch in the software. Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you all.

Hi raymon_egypt!

I understand that the cursor is behaving unpredictably on your MacBook Air, and I'm happy to help. Please try performing the following resets on the MacBook Air:

Cheers!
