Idk if this is the case for you but i used to run FTD in my mod order and if i pressed the menu keybind in first person it would cause the cursor be invisible in menus. The fix i found was just using the mod menu in first person or third if in the Morningstar.

Caused with something windows does really weird, hope that helps.

It’s pretty easy to trigger this with the menus for weapon customisation, hud tweaker, buff management etc etc. Especially with multiple screens.

I haven’t really figured out a solution so I just press escape to get to the game menu, quit & relog.
