Right, the problem cannot be related to WinPE version. The problem does not occur during the WinPE phase of the task sequence. The problem only is present in the FullOS portion of the OS Deployment.
I saw a note in noobs about hibernating/then unhibernating the OS and that does work to bring back the mouse – but it is a really poor workaround.

When I “F8” to open a command window during an OS Deployment of Windows 10, there is no mouse cursor displayed. The cursor is just hidden, the mouse still “works” it is just the pointer is no visible. It makes troubleshooting OS Deployment difficult to impossible because the only real action you can do is with the keyboard. Windows get in the way of what you are looking at – it is just really difficult to maneuver in the OS without the mouse cursor. Has anyone figured out a good way to recover the cursor? This is really tedious. Anything in the Unattend.xml that could counteract this effect or maybe some command In the TS that could run after reboot to show the mouse. It feels like whatever process is hiding the desktop with the black screen is also hiding the mouse. So frustrating. The cursor is present in WinPE stages, but not full OS. It is also fine from the same boot media in Windows 7 deployment.

If my TS bombs out for any reason, if I want to troubleshoot I have no mouse pointer. The mouse “works” (I can blindly click around and see things happen), but there’s no pointer.
