You can possibly solve this by closing other apps that you have running. Many times when an app is slowed by lack of available memory, the cursor will disappear over that window. If you are finding that the pointer only disappears when hovering over a specific window or app, then it could be a sign that the issue is with the application, or the application does not have enough memory to run efficiently. Issue 2: Disappearance from Specific Windows Step 1: Open the Apple menu by clicking on the Apple symbol in the top left corner of your screen, snd select System Preferences. Use the following steps to check/enable it. If this does not work, you can check and enable this setting if it has not already been enabled.
If the setting on your Mac is enabled, your cursor will enlarge for a few moments so that you can clearly see where it is. The easiest way to locate your cursor is to shake your mouse or rapidly move it back and forth. It’s possible that you are just having trouble seeing it at certain spots on your desktop, due to background colors and the size of your pointer. If you seem to lose the pointer sometimes and then it comes back and seems to operate normally.

The good thing is that there are solutions for most of these issues, and when in doubt rebooting your computer is sometimes the simplest and most effective way of fixing this. This can occur in a variety of ways and there are multiple things that cause it.
It’s frustrating! You go to use your Mac and the mouse cursor is nowhere to be found in the window you are looking at or even the screen.
