Teamviewer Mouse Not Working Windows 10



If you are using the TeamViewer: Remote control app on a tablet without a docking station or a keyboard attached to it, or on a smartphone running Windows 10 Mobile, there is a unique set of commands you can use to perform the same actions as if you were using a computer. The instructions are shown in the screenshot below. Teamviewer mouse trails? Basically whenever I connect to the machine, I get a bunch of blocks and pieces of the image that was supposed to be the display, and as I move around the mouse it does those trails of those pieces, like the windowsXP lag. So I have TeamViewer running as a service on this PC. Whenever I connect, I'm able to login to the windows user account and move the mouse cursor and do stuff, however when the user finally gets logged on, the mouse cursor gets stuck and nothing will happen (can be seen with the remote cursor feature), however keyboard input gets detected and passed through.

[ModEdit; related ticket: #17430: Invisible mouse pointer with remote control. (Linux host)]
Hi folks,
I am running a Windows7 Guest on a Debian stretch host.
When somebody tries to support this Windows guest with TeamViewer I cannot see the mouse of my supporter. All I can see is my 'own' mouse pointer. This pointer is not moving at all (only when I move my mouse it moves).
I am using the latest VirtualBox (V5.1.28) and have Guest additions installed.
Teamviewer Mouse Not Working Windows 10My guess is that the mouse is not really Windows' mouse but it's still the Linux mouse, so TeamViewer cannot see it???
