Description
Describe the issue
My Windows pointer is somewhere, but the pointer is actually somewhere else. Screenshot attached.
Configuration
- UTM Version: Version 2.1.1 (30)
- OS Version: macOS 12.0 Dev Beta 1
- Intel or Apple Silicon? Apple Silicon
Crash log
If the app crashed, you need a crash log. To get your crash log, open Console.app, go to Crash Reports
, and find the latest entry for either QEMU, QEMUHelper, or qemu-*. Right click and choose Reveal in Finder
. Attach the report here.
Debug log
For all issues, including crashes, you should attach a debug log. Open UTM, and open the settings for the VM you wish to launch. Near the top of the QEMU
page is Debug Log
. Turn it on and save the VM. After you experience the issue, open the VM settings again and select Export Log...
and attach it here.
Upload VM
(Optional) If possible, upload the config.plist
inside the .utm
. If you do not have this, you can upload the entire .utm
but note this contains your personal data. Since Github has an attachment size limit, you may want to upload to another service such as Google Drive. Link it here.

Update: Cursor sometimes even goes invisible.

First image: Cursor does not work properly, pointing towards the close button actually points somewhere else.
Second image: Cursor goes invisible.

I have this issues sometimes as well. Clicking the Capture Cursor button in the Toolbar and then pressing ctrl-option/alt to unlock it again seems to fix it every time.

Doesn't work for me unfortunately. :(

Does changing to display 2 instead of display 1 help?
osy commentedon Jul 5, 2021
Related to #2569
And I also run into this issue a lot. Just haven't had the time to figure it out.
osy commentedon Jul 10, 2021
I think the cursor disappearing issue is a Windows driver issue. Without installing the SPICE tools, it doesn't happen.
Terabyte1385 commentedon Jul 11, 2021
So should I uninstall SPICE tools?
osy commentedon Jul 11, 2021
Try it and report back.
Terabyte1385 commentedon Jul 12, 2021
Now it seems to work fine, even though I still have SPICE tools installed. It seems like this issue happens if I move my cursor during startup. I'll play with it in the following days and I will let you know how's going.

I did change to display 2 now so that I can get a higher resolution but the cursor disappears or clicks somewhere else instead of clicking where it is pointing. Display 1 has a terrible resolution but cursor works perfectly.

I have a mouse pointer constantly disappearing on display 1 with SPICE installed. MacBook Air with M1.

Here's the ARM64 version Signed_1152921505694127345.zip

@osy Just installed it, works well.
Only problem is if you try to drag a window, it'll create a second cursor, where one will stay in place and the other will follow you. Once you release it becomes one again. Video below is a demonstration of it.

EDIT: Oops, found something. SPICE will crash if you try to reboot. Attached is crash log and QEMU export.qemu-aarch64-softmmu: Spice: red-qxl.c:807:spice_qxl_gl_scanout: condition `qxl_state->gl_draw_cookie == GL_DRAW_COOKIE_INVALID' failedcrash.logdebug.logNot sure if this existed before. Need to spin up a new VM and reinstall the current SPICE drivers....EDIT 2: Crash above is not specific to this new driver. Opened a new issue. #3250
Terabyte1385 commentedon Nov 4, 2021
Same here. Is doesn’t really annoy me but I find it frustrating in some situations.
ozbrk commentedon Nov 4, 2021
Same here and cursor without the capturing more is simply useless

@AwlsomeAlex can you please guide me how to install the driver? I'm a bit clueless here, thanks!
Okay, I added the driver from device manager. It's still acting sketchy for me :-/
AwlsomeAlex commentedon Nov 14, 2021
@sidjainn They've updated the installer from their website. Please refer to that here.

I am still experiencing this problem with
spice-guest-tools-0.164.2.iso
which appears to be the latest available from the Support page.Has the fix mentioned in #2628 (comment) become publicly available as part of the SPICE guest tools ISO?
osy commentedon Jan 12, 2022
spice-guest-tools-0.164.3.iso
was released on https://mac.getutm.app/support/ and it should fix the cursor issues on Windows ARM64.ssbarnea commentedon May 11, 2022
Sadly it seems impossible to even install the tools with mouse absence inside the vm. After some tricking windows to start ther terminal and starting the intaller from there I was able to get the driver start installing but... surprise it got stuck at "Installing the viogpudo driver..." step without any sign that it wants to even finish.
