Today my cursor has become invisible while working in MicroStation. I was able to get it to appear again by changing the resolution of my screen. But that isn't a good fix - now everything is super large on that monitor. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried looking through Preferences and I can't find anything there to help. Before anyone says to go into Windows and change it there - I did. This is only disappearing in MicroStation. It is also happening to other people in my company. So weird. Thanks
what OS is being used ? and what version of MicroStation ?

Sorry, I should have put that information there to begin with.MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 13 - 10.13.03.04Windows 10
try setting the following:
QV_DISABLE_D3D11 = 1
then restart MicroStation and let me know if this fixes the issue.
That did not fix the issue.
ok - remove that variable and try this one:
QV_DISABLE_HARDWARE = 1
Didn't work. :( I would send you a picture of how invisible the cursor is - but that is just silly. So weird it happened out of the blue. Yesterday it was fine.
My guess is that you got a windows update (as well as your other colleagues) and this is causing the issue. Generally this is related to the videocard (the two variables were an attempt to bypass this). Most of your other software on the PC does not rely heavily on the video card as MicroStation does. I would have thought the last variable would do the trick. With that set, does the view header (IE: View 1) show "software graphics" ?
I just updated the driver for my graphics card. That didn't help. No, it doesn't mention 'software graphics'
sorry - what I meant was - when the QV_DISABLE_HARDWARE = 1 was set, it should show that. If it didn't - then the variable is not being read or set properly.
