[WorksForMe] VirtualBox 5.2.12 MousePointer Properties Not Acknowledged

Post by RetiredGuy »

Win-10 Pro 64-bit ver 1803 Host
Win-10 Pro 64-bit ver 1803 Guest
Win-10 Pro 32-bit ver 1803 Guest
i7-4790 3.6 ghz w/16g RAM

Both 64 & 32 bit versions ignore mouse pointer size and/or appearance (x-large inverted), and furthermore, 32-bit's left-click functionality on/with taskbar is not guaranteed...
Anybody hear of this? Got a solution?

A guest has its own set of cursors, they don't/can't inherit the host's cursors, if that's what you're referring to. So, you'll have to configure your guests accordingly...

I'm not quite sure I understand that part. Could you elaborate?

I won't be asking you yet for any logs, first I want to see if I understand the problem correctly,...

For the one person reading - this problem resolves itself after multiple shut-downs.
I'm inclined to believe that it's a Windows problem, as I still have other mouse issues in my main machine...

Could very well be. If you have any custom driver, mouse modifying software, uninstall it.
