Tiny cursor on stage

[Faulwetter35873951vwrp]

Hi,

my mouse cursor is super tiny on stage. Its normal sized everywhere else (panels, timeline, menu bar).

My screen is 3840 x 2160 px and set to 200%. 300% is recommended from windows.

When I set it to 100% EVERYTHING is tiny inlcuding the cursor and I can't read anything. 

When its set to 300% the cursor is still tiny on stage, changing the scale doesnt affect the cursor on stage at all.

The cursor makes working really hard, since working with vector points requires you to see cursors changes... its super annoying and my eyes hurt after working too long in the programm.

Any fixes or work arounds?

Windows 11 and I'm using Animate CC

i have the same screen size but win 10 and see no problem. 

try running animate in compatibility mode (win 10, if you have that option).

Seems like there is no option to run Animate in compatibility mode. Right click > properties doesnt show compatibility as a tab.

Found it, I was just stupid and clicked the wrong thing. However I tried setting it to win 8 (10 is not an option) and it didnt make a difference.

what if you change your workspace?  try a few.

[Faulwetter35873951vwrp]

No difference in any of them. Thank you for the suggestions though 😞

[kglad]

trying to reset preferences is the last thing i can think of to try, but it's difficult and may not work.

[Faulwetter35873951vwrp]

Makes no difference. Installed Animate on a different PC and have the same issue with this displate.

[kglad]

also win 11?

[Faulwetter35873951vwrp]

Yeah, sadly we don't have any win 10 machines anymore.

[kglad]

i know there are other win 11 users that haven't reported this, not that info will help solve the problem.

FOUND THE FIX! Thank you bye.. just kidding, here is what I found out:

Apparently I should have mentioned I'm using a triple monitor setup, two are on 100% (2560 x 1440 px and 1680 x 1050 px).

However, if the 200% one is the only monitor connected ot the pc my cursor works fine in animate. But that's not a proper solution, because I need the other monitors. Neither is lowering resolution and crippling my hardwere.

However, making the 200 % monitor the main display solves the problem!

[Faulwetter35873951vwrp]

And yes, now I have a huge cursor on stage on the two other monitors, but I can deal with that. Better too big thant too small.

got it.
