June 27, 20179 yr Hi, i changed from legacy to uefi and now on my VM (win10) my mouse cursor dissappeared, only way to see it to activate the mouse tracker ... booting is a bit faster, also no windows logo on boot, that doesnt matter may someone with an ides, i ll test some bios settings about fast boot and so on to check ... thanks ahead Update ok, tested now several things. ahead, this only happens on IGD Intel (in my case KabyLake 7700) passthrough VM, not on Nvidia GTX1070 VM. turned all fastboot options off, always same behavior, no more mouse cursor visible, usable but not visible (only when enabling mouse tracker). also no windows boot screen on uefi boot, only black and then the logon screen appears, not a real issue but may come together ... cause the VM booting shouldnt be affected if the Unraid OS is loaded by uefi or legacy i assumed. back to legacy boot now and all is fine again, visible mnouse cursor and boot screen ... btw, seems with 6.4 the "scrambled" boot screen from before driver loading on Intel IGD is also fixed, very nice so now u can install the OS directly withouth starting with VNC unless u want to "click and try" ... i ll test this again when next releases come up, for now i stay on legacy. my goal was if i could speed up the boot sequence with my Emulex 10gb NIC, but didnt change anyway, so nvm Edited June 28, 20179 yr by alturismo update
July 9, 20178 yr Confirming this issue - I have a very similar setup (one IGD Skylake VM, one GTX 1070 VM) and have the same problem with the mouse cursor disappearing when I boot using UEFI. Switching back to legacy boot restored the mouse cursor.
July 25, 20178 yr So in short, the issue is specific to UEFI boot when you create a Windows VM and pass through the integrated graphics device. Does the mouse disappear if you use a different OS for the VM? Perhaps something Linux based? This would be helpful to know.

This would be helpful to know. good morning so, i gave it another try now and sadly cant give any feedback with ubuntu. 6.3.5 1st, installed a ubuntu VM and tested function, all fine. upgrade to 6.4rc7a boot legacy win10 vm, all good ubuntu vm, all good boot uefi win10 vm, 1st no boot screen, 1st screen i see is the logon screen, nvm, but still no visible mouse (working but invisible) ubuntu vm, no boot screen or any screen at all ... i see monitor turns on, but stays on black screen ... so cant tell if theres a mouse or not tried then several mashine types up to 2.9, no change ... screen stays black ... also no log entries ... sorry ...
