How to hide the mouse pointer in Windows 11

The mouse pointer appears in Windows 11 constantly, which may cause inconvenience to some users, especially those who work in writing on computers. The pointer may obscure part of the information available to you on the screen.

As a result, many people prefer to hide the mouse cursor when typing in Windows 11, or leave the cursor far away at the bottom edge of the screen.

However, leaving the cursor away may disrupt workflow for some users, so it is not a suitable solution to this problem.

Hide Mouse Pointer in Windows 11

There are generally two ways to hide the mouse pointer in Windows 11, and these methods also work well with Windows 10.

Through the first method, you can hide the mouse pointer while writing in writing applications such as Office applications or Windows Notepad. But it will not work with browsers and other applications, which is by activating a feature in the Windows system.

The second method enables you to hide the mouse pointer while typing in all applications such as browsers and social media applications. This method works by downloading an open source application.

Hide the mouse cursor through the Windows 11 feature

You can use this feature by following these steps:

The mouse cursor disappears automatically after activating this feature, but when you try to move the mouse the cursor reappears.

Hide the mouse cursor through an external application

This method is better and easier than the first method, as it works quickly by activating the application or pressing the buttons to activate it.

You can download this application by clicking on its link below, and you do not need to install the application as it works directly.

You do not need to activate the application or activate any feature inside it for the application to work, as it starts working directly when you open it.

You can close the application by clicking on the application icon next to the clock and then choosing to close or stop it if you want to leave it running.
