Stardock CursorFX / Plus - unexpected behaviour with WIN 10 creators update using microsoft edge browser
Monday, April 10, 2017 by ippohicks | Discussion: OS Customization
Hi - I have CursorFX Plus and found that when selecting a custom mouse pointer that a few strange things happened in the Microsoft Edge Browser. I am on Win 10 Pro 64 bit. I can launch the browser and click on anything menu related like settings or saved favourite websites, though I cannot click on any content in the main web page content, like hyperlinks or anything. At first I thought it was my Logitech mouse which had to be reinstalled once the creators update had been installed. If I choose the default system mouse pointer in cursor fx I can once again use the browser as usual. I find that the scroll wheel, left click and right click have no effect with a custom pointer. The mouse is a Logitech Mx518 and is operating well. No other browsers are affected by this anomaly (like chrome or IE). The problem relates to both the paid version of cursorfx plus and the free trial version. There are lots of new O/S Settings with windows 10 creators update, so can't be 100% sure the problem is stardocks or microsofts
hope someone can fix this!

Thanks for letting us know. We are looking into possible solutions.
In case you didn't know, [Ctrl]+[Shift]+C will enable/disable CursorFX to allow you to interact with your Universal application (including Edge).

I have the same problem since the latest Windows update. Any response would be appreciated.

I will be sure to update this as soon as I have something to report.
I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Similar problems with Edge Browser. I can not scroll or use the slide bar.

CursorFX does not work in most, if not all MS apps. Zubaz's suggestion of using CTRL/shift/C is a good workaround for the time being, until it can be fixed.

Don't use Edge here, RND, but CFX works flawlessly with all the MS apps on my Win10 rig. All of Office, even Modern apps. FWIW.

I, too have the exact issue. I have done the same things that Ippochicks did to remedy the situation. So glad he raised the issue.

Thanks for posting, ippohicks. I have a Logitech mouse, CFX Plus and same OS; have postponed the update for now but good info to have.
