Skyrim: Mouse Icon Showing After Minimise [Solved]

I have been having this re-occurring problem with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on my PC lately:
Sometimes when I minimise the game (for whatever reason) and maximise again, the Windows mouse icon is still showing.

There is a very simple fix for this:

Credit goes to
"Oayarc" from Gamespot Game FAQs Forum:


"When i alt-tab in and out, i get the double cursor
I alt tab out again, and then tab back in to the first black screen. On this window window, move your windows cursor up to the top of the screen so that it is visible around the top windows bar and left click. Then move your windows cursor down until it disappears (about 20-30% down the screen) and left click."

And that's it! This fix works with modded and vanilla.
Oayarc mentioned he runs a completely unmodded version and I have installed mods both from Nexus and Steam Workshop.
