How to solve a problem in which a cursor is displayed as a dot instead of an arrow when using Google Remote Desktop.
When I accessed Google's remote desktop, the mouse cursor looked like a dot point instead of an arrow, so I was very uncomfortable. I think many people have suffered the same pain as me.
It's not a big deal, but the eye-catching situation continued. I tried many ways to solve it, but I couldn't find a solution that I liked.
For example, I installed and used several mouse cursor programs, but the problem was not solved.
I kept changing the mouse setting and tested it, but I couldn't find a satisfactory solution.
And deleting the program and returning to its original state were repeated.
The only solution was to get the mouse cursor back out by dragging and moving the open program window. It was a very cumbersome solution.
Finally, I found a way to solve this problem today. It depends on the window environment setting situation, but most windows seem to have no problem.
The cause of the problem.
It is a problem that a physical mouse must be recognized on a remote computer. If the mouse is not connected, it is displayed as a dot point instead of an arrow.
Based on Windows 10, the default setting is to hide the mouse pointer when there is no physical mouse in the OS.
The solution.
In Windows 10 settings, turn on "Settings that allow you to move the mouse with arrows toward the keyboard numeric keypad." If you go to "Accessibility -> Interaction -> Mouse in Settings", you will find this option.
