Kali Linux: Cursor not showing
I downloaded Kali Linux 3 days ago so I'm pretty new with this program. I started the Kali Linux this morning and everything was like the days before; the cursor was there. Then I turned it off, started again and boom -> No cursor. I've tried pretty much everything what the beginner can do if you guys have any ideas I'd like to hear about them. I'm using Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux is running with VirtualBox. Thank you.

I have no idea. I just can't edit those settings. Where can I see if I've turned off the virtual machine? If you mean the actual Kali Linux program yes I've done that.
