I recently ran into issues when using Remote Desktop Protocol, RDP, (specifically using the Linux rdestop tool) to access a Windows 8 machine. The issue was that the mouse cursor was not visible.
I was able to fix this by:
- Hit Windows-E to bring up Explorer
- Right click on "This PC"
- Select Properties, like this:
- In the box that pops up, select "Advanced System Settings". I just kept hitting Tab to move the cursor there rather than using the mouse to guess.
- In the System Properties dialog, go to the Performance box and select "Settings...". Like this:
- In the "Performance Options" dialog box, (use the tab key to) select "Adjust for best performance".
- Then, I did Alt-A to Apply and just hit Enter to close the box.
- At this point, I had my mouse cursor back!
I hope this works for you, too!
