Root cause, proven on-glass across five driver builds: a declared IddCx hardware cursor is IRREVOCABLE. There is no un-declare DDI, the empty-caps re-setup is rejected INVALID_PARAMETER, and after a successful same-mode re-commit with the driver's re-declare provably suppressed (sticky per-target flag, zero re-setups logged) DWM still never composites the software cursor back into the monitor's frames. Every DWM-based composite flip is therefore unfixable. The composite (capture) model is now implemented in OUR pipeline: - the driver keeps its hardware cursor declared for the session's whole life (the state that works) — frames stay pointer-free always; - in composite mode try_consume routes the conversion through a blend scratch: slot copy + one alpha-blended quad of the GDI poller's shape at its polled position (CursorBlendPass — fullscreen-triangle VS with viewport placement, straight-alpha PS, sRGB→linear for FP16/HDR rings), covering all four convert paths (NV12, 4:4:4 copy, P010, PyroWave) GPU-side under the slot's keyed mutex; - pointer-only motion produces no driver publish (declared hw cursor), so try_consume REGENERATES from the last slot whenever the polled cursor state changes — the cursor moves on a static desktop at tick rate, without faking freshness for the stall/death watchdogs; - set_cursor_forward becomes purely host-internal state; the SET_CURSOR_FORWARD IOCTL machinery is no longer used by the host (driver keeps it, dormant) and its sender plumbing is removed.
