Slow mouse movement in Windows 2012 ?

When connected to Windows 2012 server using RDP, cursor / mouse movements are very slow. Sometimes this is very horrible while troubleshooting any issue. Well when checked this was all due to the pointer shadow that was on. There needed it to disable and once done cursor movement was back on its normal speed.

Please follow the steps listed below to disable the pointer shadow quickly:

• Start main.cpl ,1
• Press Alt key and E.
• Press Alt key and A.
• Press Esc key.

Note: Please execute the above mentioned commands in its sequence in command prompt.

 

Thanks,
