Execute "sudo dmesg | grep -i mouse" in a terminal and get back to us

Ok, it's not your mouse, it's something else, probably a rendering issue. Can I make a wild guess? Are you on X11? In that case try this:

Add this

Section "Device"  
    Identifier "AMD"  
    Driver "amdgpu"  
    Option "SWCursor" "True"  
    Option "VariableRefresh" "True"  
EndSection

to a new file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and reboot.

AMD GPUs sometimes have this wild random bug with hardware cursor rendering.

Be aware, that you might get some side effects, like flickering buttons when hovering with the mouse.

Wow thanks! Thats Magic you are a Wizard of the Internet. Now i can use this beautiful os <3

Im no expert, but... Make sure your os is updated. If you have a wireless mouse try using it with the cable. Maybe download mouse drivers via terminal? Also mandatory have you tried turning your PC off and on again?

Yes its updated several Problem No Cursor but in can Control the oc with the invisible Cursor.

Try a different mouse. Try your mouse on a different computer.

In the same vein, often times changing the port the mouse is connected to fixes it for me.

3 Mice now no cursor but i can click stuff. And Control my PC only the Cursor Missing.
