when I play keyboard and mouse I see the Microsoft cursor from edge pop up onto my screen...

Thanks, here are the questions:

Can I disable the on-screen keyboard when typing in Microsoft Edge or on Xbox in general? I use a keyboard and don't need the pop-up one for the controller.

Is there a way to stop other tabs from being discarded in Microsoft Edge on Xbox? It says when I hover over the tab: "this tab was discarded to save resources". Is there an option to cost resources in order to keep multiple tabs open?

Would I be able to navigate the Xbox home screen, Microsoft store, or other apps with a mouse cursor, or is it only done with the keyboard arrows or controller?

Hi yLeozinn,

Thanks for replying! It seems that the use of the cursor for Microsoft Edge via the Xbox One console was never designed to be used with mouse/keyboard functionality and the cursor strictly is designed to work in tandem with Xbox One controller functions.
For more information, I recommend our support article entitled Mouse and keyboard support on Xbox One, which states "A mouse will not work
in Edge, which already has an on-screen cursor." so it appears that this is by design.

I hope that this information helps a bit more.

Dérek Augusto Independent Advisor posted a solution to a user who had a similar issue:

"it is usually solved with this test below

Press the Xbox button to open the dashboard.

Select System > Settings > System > Console Information

Select Reset Console.

Restore and keep my games and apps.

Rest assured, you won't miss games or saves

When asking to pull settings from an old xbox, put no

You will have to log in your accounts again, that's all"

Hi Leozinn,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. You can connect the keyboard and mouse to the console. As to what is able to be done is limited as it is still new. A keyboard will work with Edge, a mouse will not as there is a built in cursor already
on Edge. Here is a
support link you can look over concerning keyboard and mouse.

Thanks,

Brad

Mas eu ainda não entendo porque não há como usar o mouse só porque já existe um cursor no Edge, poderia me explicar?

[Mod Translation - But I still do not understand why there is no way to use the mouse just because there is already a cursor in the Edge, could you explain?]

Hi Carson,

I’ve received a response from the Edge and Xbox Community teams. Answers to your questions:

1. Can I disable the on-screen keyboard when typing in Microsoft Edge or on Xbox in general?

No, you can’t disable the on-screen keyboard on the Edge Browser. You may continue to provide feedback to Team Xbox about this. What you can do is press the Windows key + ESC, and the keyboard will go away temporarily.

2. Is there a way to stop other tabs from being discarded in Microsoft Edge on Xbox? It says when I hover over the tab: "this tab was discarded to save resources". Is there an option to cost resources in order to keep multiple tabs open?

In the Edge Browser, click on the three dots (...) and select Settings > System and Performance. Scroll down to Optimization Performance and toggle off these settings: ‘Turn on efficiency mode’ and ‘Save resources with sleeping tabs’, then restart the browser so the updated settings properly take effect. This should prevent the tabs from reloading to save resources.

There’s also the option to put inactive tabs to sleep after a certain amount of time (various options between 30 seconds and 12 hours), and add websites to the exception list so these are never put to sleep regardless of any settings.

3) Would I be able to navigate the Xbox home screen, Microsoft store, or other apps with a mouse cursor, or is it only done with the keyboard arrows or controller?

Unfortunately, the mouse cursor will only appear in games and apps with mouse support. So, you’ll have to use either an Xbox controller or the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate the home screen, Microsoft Store and any other apps.

Also, things to keep in mind as included here:

Using a mouse and keyboard with Xbox | Xbox Support

• You can’t use a mouse on Home or within the Xbox user interface while navigating the dashboard.
  
• You’ll need to use your controller to configure your mouse. Settings does not support mouse interaction.
  
• Microsoft Edge works with a mouse but also has an on-screen cursor.
  

Hope this helps.
