Mouse cursor disappears on wireless display

I have a new Win11 desktop, and I've used the Wireless Display option to extend the desktop to an older Win10 laptop. When I move the mouse to the wireless display, the mouse cursor disappears. It's still there, because I can see where it highlights items in the taskbar when I move it down then side to side, and I can click on those items as well. The cursor is just invisible whenever it's moved to the wireless display. I've checked all the settings that I can find, but I don't see any cause of this. My searches haven't been able to find any threads with a match to this issue. Any suggestions?

 

Remote desktop connection problem

Hello, Mara,

I appreciate your help. But it was not working.

I am using the windows 10 professional version, which has preinstalled remote desktop connection.

But the same problem persists. So kindly suggest some other methods.

For more clarity, I am stating my problem another time. The steps I follow are as follows.

Aim: I want to access PC1 using PC2 remotely.

1. I noted down the IP address of my PC1.
   
2. Now, I open the remote desktop connection app in PC2.
   
3. Entered the IP address, User name, and password.
   
4. After that, PC1 gets locked, and in PC2, a page comes which has the following information. (Normally, it should show the sign-in prompt to access the PC1 exactly as in PC1 )
   
   • At the top, a bar came which can be used for minimization, cancel, etc.
     
   • At the left bottom, the power button shows. I can sleep, shut down, disconnect, or sign out by using that.
     
   • In the middle, a mouse pointer shows.
     
   • Other than that no sign-in prompt. By clicking the mouse, no response. Also, clicking enter does not help.
     
   • It's like the "connected locked PC1 ". It means it is connected but can't be used.
     

 

Remote Desktop Connection problems


Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:

1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
   • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
   • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
   • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
4. On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
   • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
   • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.
