Mouse cursor not visible at menu

Product: Command & Conquer Remastered
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Mouse cursor not displaying in menus on either C&C or RA2
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Loading the game?
What happens when the bug occurs? At the main menu or in any other menu, no cursor is visible in either C&C or RA2 when loading the game. The cursor is present however as when you move the mouse around, menu options are highlighted.
What do you expect to see? A visible mouse cursor on the screen in all menus as this is the only way of navigating them.

‌

I was able to make the cursor appear in C&C after guessing the mouse location to (eventually) navigate to and changing the graphics to a windowed mode.
Attempting this in RA2, this function does not work as when navigating back to the graphics settings, windows mode is still de-selected even after selecting and pressing "OK"
I am also unable to view it when connecting a second screen. I have mouse trails off (saw a suggestion on another post).
Screen and settings match the resolution.
New install, no mods or additional settings.
No other windows or programs open.
No other screens in use.
Changing to window mode using F11 isn't an option as this does not work

    I remember specifically getting this issue when enabling large mouse cursor, and having "Performance mouse pointer" enabled in the video settings.

    So, see if disabling "Performance mouse pointer" fixes it.

    @NyergudsAfter spending time trying to navigate to this menu again I managed to deselect the option (also required to not have external monitor) and the cursor appeared! Thanks for the (temporary) solution to the problem!
    This bug still stands for the most part though as I feel it should be visible when loading the game to navigate to the menu. +1 For XP 🙂

    Having this problem as well, very frustrating as I cannot select load game but even if I could mouse in game is not synced with the displayed cursor. Game is currently unplayable right now, very disappointed.

    Did you try going into the settings and disabling that option? You can kind of track your mouse position by seeing when options highlight.
