Recently my mouse cursor is disappearing a lot and I can't make it visible again until I slide where the mouse should be up to the menu bar and click the menu bar.

How do I fix this?

Some people think this is same question as: Fix invisible cursor?

Maybe it is? But that's for an older OS, and the OP of that question has accepted an answer that doesn't fix the problem for me.

I want to prevent the problem from happening at all ("fix").

I have already detailed how I can get my cursor back when it disappears, but it's really annoying and I want that to not happen.

The other question some people flagged as duplicate doesn't help out at all.
