Why would my cursor be moveable on my monitor but not in my VR headset?

Occasionally when I am starting up MSFS 2020 and I haven't put my headset on yet, I'm using my mouse get things set up. Once the software is loaded and I'm looking at the various windows I have to choose from I'm able to use the cursor on my computer monitor. When I place the headset on, the mouse is frozen in place on the virtual screen.

 

Before I place it on my head I can watch the cursor moving on the VR screen and I'll keep moving it on as I slip it on my head. But at a certain point just as I'm slipping it on, the cursor will freeze in place on the VR screen.

You need to make sure MSFS is running in full screen, rather than a window (so that you don’t click outside the box)

Press Alt+Enter for full screen. Hope this helps

It's always best to make sure your headset is controlling things and not the desktop. I had things set wrong.
