MacOS – Mouse cursor really frequently vanishes

macosmojave

Recently my mouse cursor is disappearing a lot and I can't make it visible again until I slide where the mouse should be up to the menu bar and click the menu bar.

How do I fix this?

Some people think this is same question as: Fix invisible cursor?

Maybe it is? But that's for an older OS, and the OP of that question has accepted an answer that doesn't fix the problem for me.

I want to prevent the problem from happening at all ("fix").

I have already detailed how I can get my cursor back when it disappears, but it's really annoying and I want that to not happen.

The other question some people flagged as duplicate doesn't help out at all.

Looks like a someone had this issue as well and accept the answer here : Fix invisible cursor? :

If your mouse cursor has mysteriously disappeared in OS X, try the following tricks in descending order to bring it back:

  1. Hit Command+Tab to switch back to the Finder or to another app, then switch back to the active app

  2. Summon the Force Quit menu by hitting Command+Option+Escape, there is often no need to actually force quit anything as just summoning the menu is often enough to make the cursor return

  3. Quit and relaunch the app, or quit all apps if the cursor is gone everywhere

  4. Adjust the size of the cursor, found in System Preferences > Accessibility > Display to make it reappear

Reboot

Slightly increasing the cursor size in system preferences seems to have fixed the issue entirely.
