I use Absolute Manage software to connect to devices on our domain for remote management. Recently, we purchased a few Windows 8.1 with Bing systems that will be connected to monitors to use as signage. These little machines only have a power and display cord attached; no mouse, keyboard, or speakers. I have noticed that when I remote into one of these systems, I can NOT see the mouse. The mouse still functions as I can see icons highlighting and I can click on them. If I plug a mouse into the host machine the cursor appears and will stay on even after unplugging the mouse. If the mouse is plugged in when the remote session is initiated there is no problem. However, since these machines will never have end users and will be attached to television sets, leaving a mouse connected to them is not a desirable solution.
After doing some research, I turned off EnableCursorSuppression in the registry which did not help. Others have suggested that win8.1 uses touch input if no mouse is detected, but i have no touch-enabled devices attached that I can disable.
Anyone know of a solution to this? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
