Mouse Cursor is HUGE

[khaosspawn]

Hi There,
I upgraded my parallels 16 to 17 and now the cursor in windows is huge! I've reinstalled parallels tools - restarted numerous times - with no effect. Any advice would be appreciated. This is really difficult to work with as it stands.

Yuri, try ticking this option VM menu bar > View > Retina Resolution > Best for external displays and confirm logging out of Windows. Will that help?

It works, thank you

Just a heads up, the solution I found was to change desktop resolution within Windows from full retina resolution to 1920 x 1200. Of course something else may work better for you, but the initial 450% magnifier against the full resolution was causing the pointer to be obscenely large. Once I changed the windows resolution in display settings and moved magnification to 100% everything worked fine.

Hi there,
This issue with the oversized Windows cursor after upgrading Parallels may relate to display scaling settings. Since you're using MI Portal Fone, check if any resolution or scaling settings there are affecting Parallels--adjusting those might help resolve the problem. Let me know if you need step-by-step help!

Have you made any recent display setting changes in MI Portal Fone?

I am not using that, I do not know what that is
