Hi there,
I am using office 365, word version 2310. I just noticed when I begin typing, even one letter, my cursor disappears immediately, and I can only get it back by moving my mouse or press Ctrl. Previously, I think I could see my cursor while typing. Would it be possible to make my crusor visible while typing?
I've tried the operations below:
1. turning on/off the 'smart cursoring'.
2. activate/unactivate 'hide pointer while typing' in 'pointer options'.
3. uninstall and reinstall office 365, repair/reset office 365.
4. turning off the HDR settings.
5. changing the display scale in 'display settings'.
6. lauching word in a safe mode.
7. changing the regional settings.
None of them works.
The funny thing is, when I am typing in Chinese characters, my cursor does not disappear at all, but even if I type one single English letter, the cursor disappears immediately.
Additionally, I found the same behaviour when typing in notepad of windows.
I know it might be a FEATURE to hide my cursor while typing, but is there any possible solution that I can make my cursor visible while typing? I just want to see my cursor. \
Thanks

@XWswansea I checked another document and the cursor was there and worked correctly. So I exited out of the problem document and waited a minute and opened and it was fine. Hope that happened for you as well (because sooo annoying!).
