Cursor vanishing

Ever since upgrading the OS on my Macbook, my cursor tends to mysteriously vanish. Wiggling the trackpad does not bring it back, and I have to close the laptop lid to get it back.


This is a technical issue that I think the software engineers need to address, possibly with a patch, ASAP.

You could try restart in Safe mode, sometimes the system can find issue and fix itself.

And once restarted in Safe mode, often you will need to login at least once to continue

to use the Mac. ~ To exit Safe mode, restart normally.
