Can't see my mouse pointer while playing full screen on some games
I have been running Windows 10 for a while and I recently tried to launch an old game that I haven't played in ages (Minecraft). For some reason I can navigate on the menu, but I can't see where I'm clicking. My mouse is invisible, but only when the game is in full screen.
Things I've already tried:
Disabling pointer trail and everything related to areo (back to basic)
Creating another user (in case my account was corrupted)
Changing my resolution to minimum than lunch the game
Updating my mouse drivers (R.A.T.S 5)
Updating my graphic card's drivers
Troubleshooting the game
Running the game as administrator
Trying on another monitor
I have no idea what else I could try to see my mouse while playing Minecraft; otherwise it's very hard to play.

This can be caused by a setting in the "f.lux" software (at least, it was for me). This could be fixed if you turn off "Software mouse cursor when needed (fixes "white cursor").

Just alt-tab out and in to the game to see whether the mouse cursos persists. Alt+enter, not alt tab. alt+enter, if it even has any function within a game, is usually for toggling between window and fullscreen mode.How do I get my cursor to show in games?
Right click or tap and hold the tray icon for Dual Monitor Tools and select Options. Under the Cursor heading in the left-hand menu, select General. Next to Lock cursor onto screen select Change, then tick the Enable box, input your chosen command, and press OK.How do I make my cursor stay on one screen while gaming?

I had the same issue and I found out that it was caused by the pointer trails being displayed. If you have that setting enabled, try disabling it as it worked for me.

Answer 4
Try to launch Minecraft in the Compatibility Mode with another version of Windows. Simply right click on the icon of Minecraft and click on Properties. Then, go to Compatibility and turn it on, select the version you want, but I recommend NOT to go lower than Windows XP.
Answer 5
I fixed this by disabling the Discord Overlay for the game.
