I am using my Boot Camp as Virtual Machine. I have this issue from the beginning, but i couldn't find any fix for it. My cursor flicker between macOS' black cursor and Windows' white cursor. Double (sometimes even single) click doesn't work sometimes. How can i fix this, any suggestion?

Issue:
While using AutoCAD with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 within Parallels Desktop on a Macintosh computer, the program tends to run slow, dialog windows are sized incorrectly, text and menus are the wrong size, and mouse cursor performance is sluggish and not smooth.
Causes:
New DPI settings from enhanced screens, such as Retina displays, can cause these problems.
Solution:
To improve the performance of AutoCAD within Parallels, change either the video resolution or the mouse setting, or both:

I too have a mouse pointer Flicker problem, currently using the latest Trial Version together with MacOS Mojave. When I perform a action in "Windows 10" I get a mouse flicker at times, It seems to transition from the "Windows" mouse pointer to the MacOS mouse pointer, and then back again to the "Windows" mouse pointer. This happens rapidly and is almost no visible. It appears as a flicker.

I have found a workaround, by disabling all Integration with the MacOS,
especially creating "ICONS" in the MacOS "Dock", it seems as if the "Dock" in mackOS gets Focus and then reverts back to the Guest OS.
This fixed it for me, and because of this I am yet to decide, Parallels or the other one. I can't decide yet.

I finally found what triggered it for me.

Whenever I used the screen zoom, even just the slightest amount, and even if fully restored to original position, cursor would flicker like crazy when switching to parallels VM for about 2-3 seconds. It would persist for the entire session until a complete computer reboot.

Was able to reliably repeat these results.

Given that someone has posted success regarding AutoCAD settings, and someone else with Display settings, clearly it's to do with scaling.

Thankfully, ever since installing Catalina developer seed 8, the problem has disappeared. I can zoom and scale all I like now and my cursor switches straight away. Have not updated Parallels throughout this whole thing.
