Certain high-resolution computers may experience this problem with a shrunken or enlarged cursor while using LabVIEW.

Shrunken: There has been a bug fix implemented in 2018 SP1, ID 677536. This bug is fixed in LabVIEW 2018 SP1 but this may still be an issue in previous versions.

Enlarged: This is a known issue in LabVIEW 2018 SP1 and later, and it has been reported to NI R&D. Corrective Action Request (CAR) number is 740315.

• Set the display settings to 100% scaling and 1080p resolution
• Use a secondary lower resolution monitor for LabVIEW.
