Mouse control lost in windows 10 (RESOLVED)

[RickRuski]

Hi fellow simmers,

I have a problem with mouse in game pointer since the upgrade to windows 10. Mouse works fine in all other situations except with il2. The sim starts ok, but when the selection screen is available and I move the mouse to make my selection the mouse pointer disappears never to be seen again. This happens every time I try to select any mission type. Has any one else had this problem??. I could do with some help with this problem.

You can try to unplug all USB devices and start IL2 without them.
Is the mouse pointer staying then? If so, it probably is an USB/driver issue.

Hi RayVad,

Thanks for your reply, but my Keyboard/mouse are Logitech MK250 unified wifi with usb receiver. I have been to the logitech web site and followed their instructions for reset and that didn't help. They have said that there are no drivers or software required (plug and play).
To get over the problem i have reinstalled windows 7 and gone to dual boot system. No problem with W7 so it looks like a W10 incompatibility issue. Will have to wait and see if MS comes up with a fix, they have a list of games that are having trouble with 10. I have even tried a reinstall of Il2 in W10 but it won't even start the install.

Cheers

Your problem should be similar to what happened with windows 8

It is about the desktop zoom. If it above 100%, the il2 screen looks weird, and the mouse dissapears.

Thanks for the suggestion RPS69, yes I am running desktop at 125% because of bad eye sight (cataracts). Tried taking it back to 100% but still have the same problem, mouse cursor just disappears completely, (that's the gold in game cursor) and it is only happening with windows 10 and not with windows 7.

Cheers

I will be downloading windows 10 next weekend and will try it and see if I can reproduce the same problem.
