Hello,

Same issue here, VLC 2.2.6 x64 or even downgrade to 2.2.1 x64 the mouse cursor doesn't disappear in full screen mode or may disappear only once (randomly) but if you move the mouse once again it doesn't. Same issue on three different configuration on Windows 10 1709 (fall creator update 16299.19 (the latest available currently)). Firefox or even windows media player works well.

Bonjour,

Je rencontre le même soucis sur trois configurations matérielles différentes depuis la mise à niveau vers la dernière mise à jour Windows 10 1709 'fall creators update' build 16299.19 installé via l'ISO généré par le media creation tool de microsoft.
Lorsque l'on passe en plein écran la souris ne disparait pas, même lorsque l'on l'a bouge, en augmentant le son puis l'a rebouge de nouveau ou encore en cliquant sur la vidéo pour être sûr que le focus soit bien sur VLC.
Il arrive que lors du premier double clic pour passer en plein écran la souris se masque correctement, mais en la redéplaçant il ne se masque pas (ceci ne se produit que très rarement et de façon aléatoire semble-t-il).
En essayant des versions plus anciennes 2.2.2/2.2.1 x64 ceci ne règle pas le problème. Changer la durée pour laquelle le curseur se masque 999ms au lieu des 1000 ms non plus.
Sous Firefox (player youtube ou allociné) et windows media player le curseur se masque correctement.

Je profite de ce post pour relever un comportement qui ne semble pas normal ; lorsque l'on augmente le volume sonore d'une vidéo (en plein écran) via la molette de la souris si l'on ne déplace pas la souris le curseur ne se remasque pas. Il faut donc monter/baisser le son et déplacer la souris n'importe où pour qu'elle se masque de nouveau (ceci n'est pas un problème nouveau il apparait depuis beaucoup de version et peut-être est-ce le comportement voulu ?).

Cordialement,

is there any fix/workaround for the 2.2.6? If not, is the 3.0.0. stable/usable? Which Version exactly?

Could a fix not be rolled in to the 2.2.x maintenance branch whilst we wait for version 3's stable release?

This could be something to do with settings. My one is 2.2.6 and Windows Creators update. No problems. The reason that 3.0 works may be due to resetting settings. Try "Rest preferences and system caches" from the Windows startup menu.

I have had the same problem since the windows 10 update, with my cursor staying on-screen. I tried VLC versions 2.2.6 and 3.0.0 and cleared/reset the settings, but the problem still exists. Does anyone have a fix for this yet?

If the cursor doesn't hide after the set delay in fullscreen mode, tap the 'F' key to exit fullscreen and tap it again to toggle back to fullscreen - the cursor will hide.
