Classic Outlook bug causes mouse pointers to randomly disappear

If you’re still using the classic Outlook app and you’ve been experiencing sudden mouse pointer disappearances over the past two months, making it difficult to get any meaningful work done, just know that you aren’t alone, at least according to BleepingComputer.

The latest news is that Microsoft has published a new support page on this issue, stating that your mouse pointer can disappear in classic Outlook as well as other Microsoft 365 apps (albeit to a lesser extent).

We don’t know exactly what’s causing the error, but it’s good to know that Microsoft has confirmed the issue and is working on a fix. Hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming update sooner than later.

Over the past year, we’ve seen a whole host of strange bugs in the classic Outlook app, and in some cases Microsoft has urged users to upgrade to the new Outlook app to avoid problems.
