    3. Select Virtual Machine, and open the Virtual Machine's Configuration ( Open the virtual machine's Configuration: click the Parallels icon on top of the Mac menu bar > Control Center > right-click on the virtual machine > Configure).

    5. For the option "Mouse", select "Don't optimize for games" from its drop-down options.

    Thank you, problem solved!
    One minor issue with the instructions you provided was that (as reported in my initial post) it was impossible to Shut Down my VM-- choosing that from the menu did nothing. So finally I selected Stop (rather than Shut Down) from the menu, and that enabled me to complete the configuration steps you posted. The problem of the mouse cursor disappearing now seems to be solved.
    Thank you for your help!

    Are there any solutions for this? I'm unable to get past the initial login screen (where you have to swipe up or CTRL-ALT-DEL to put your login credentials in). It takes no input from the mouse or keyboard, laptop's or USB.
