Double windows cursor

User Support

I used qvm-create-windows-qube to setup a windows HVM. It works amazingly however I have the double cursor issue mentioned in this post. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Windows is drawing a cursor and then I also have one from dom0. I’m not sure if it would be better to disable the cursor on the guest or on the host? I’m thinking probably the host since the guest cursor changes shape when you hover over things for example. Is there any easy way to tell the gui stuff to hide the cursor when over the HVM window?

Maybe installing another cursor pack on windows with tiny cursors. Maybe something like this one (note, I haven’t tried it).

Add this registry entry to the Windows template.
Save it, e.g. as disable_cursor.reg and double-click in Windows Explorer. Confirm the addition when prompted.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Invisible Things Lab\Qubes Tools\qga]
"DisableCursor"=dword:00000001
