    I'm running a dual monitor setup on my MBP and the mouse pointers on the two screens are of different sizes. The MBP screen pointer is tiny to the point of barely being visible (and I've bumped it in the Windows settings to the largest one possible) while on the external display (1080p) the mouse cursor is around a 100 pixels in size - way too big.

    I'm running in Retina mode, and I have the MBP Windows screen set to 1920x1200, the exernal display is set to 1920x1080.
    Any ideas on how to get these mouse cursors in check?

    Hi Rick, it may be because the external monitor is not a retina display monitor, please try to change Virtual Machine display mode to Scaled as suggested at http://kb.parallels.com/119926 and check if the issue still persisting.

    I can confirm the above suggestion is not working. I am using a tabletPC connected by USB, as an extended monitor (2nd). It is correctly detected by both win11 and macos, but in win11 if I try to move the mouse between the two screens, it gets "trapped" on screen number 2 and rarely shows up on screen #1 (with an offset of position).
