Mouse Cursor Moves Back To Original Position Prior To Opening Game Bar

CHAOS SIGMA · Nov 13, 2021

As it states in the title, my problem is simple. When my cursor is in, lets say, on the bottom right of the screen, I'll press Win +G to open game bar. After i'm done doing what needed to be done and the cursor is on the opposite side of the screen, closing game bar will result in the cursor to go back to the bottom right with no say whatsoever. This is the first ime this has happened to me and I honestly dont know how to fix it. Any ideas?

Sadly, even after all of this, the problem is still continuing.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

These steps can help you, give it a try.

Check for updates on Windows Update, update everything including optional/additional updates.

1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app

2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset. Do this for the Game Bar too.

3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.

4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.

5. Restart your PC, log in to both apps and see if that solves the problem.

If the problem persists, reinstall Game Bar.

Press the Windows key and select “Microsoft Windows PowerShell” (Admin)

Windows PowerShell command bar will open up

Enter the code

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Press enter and wait for a few seconds for the code to work. Close PowerShell and restart your PC. Open the Microsoft Store app, search for Game Bar in the store and install.

It doesn't seem to be a problem with Game Bar. I checked if this happens on my PC's with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and the same happens.

Hi, I just tested and with a controller, there is no issue. Just when using a mouse to move the cursor around, the cursor will disappear over the map.

That doesn't work. An easy way to test if you have mouse acceleration:

Place your mouse all the way on the right side of your mouse pad, and the cursor on the right side of your screen. Move the mouse very slowly to the left, and when your cursor hits the left side of the screen, put your left index finger on the mouse pad. Now do the same movement fast, and see where your mouse is, when the cursor makes it to the left side of your screen.
