Weird mouse cursor problem?

So for the past week after I updated my drivers on my graphics card and I alt-tab between applications occasionally my mouse turns into a bunch of vertical dotted lines. When searching online other people reporting a similar issue are claiming they all have multiple monitor setups and are using older ATI Radeon cards.

If it helps:
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600
RAM: 1x8GB DDR4 2400
GPU: Gigabyte Windforce RX 470
Mouse: Logitech G403 Prodigy
Windows Version: 10 Home
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE

So far I've tried:[list]
[*] Rolling back/checking for new updates for my Video Card drivers
[*] Updating Mouse drivers
[*] Checking if Windows is recognizing multiple monitors (it doesn't)
[/list]

Any suggestions would be appreciated, as the only 2 fixes are turning on pointer trails (looks disgusting) and rebooting (I now have a macro to reboot on scroll lock b/c of this issue).

Fixed!

Fuck my original post was bad

unplug your display/plug it in somewhere else on your gpu/plug your cable in somewhere else on your monitor?

I am using dual link DVI. the RX 470 (and VG248QE for that matter) only have one dual link DVI port. I don't have a working display port cable and VG248QE doesn't use HDMI 2.x, so I can't run 144hz over HDMI.

I've had this issue a few times, I believe the issue was an unstable overclock.

If you haven't overclocked anything I'd try completely uninstalling the video drivers, and installing new ones, otherwise you may need to do a clean install of windows.

^should completely remove your current video driver.

I get that with the latest radeon drivers, I have an RX480. Rolled back to 16.12.2 and it's fixed for me.

Just used the program Comanglia linked and installed the 16.12.2 drivers you mentioned, zen. Thank you very much if this is the solution!
