Get PointerPosition

How to get PointerPosition when app starting? PointerMoved will not fire while user does not move a pointer at least on 1px, other using CoreWindow.PointerPosition also does not work for Winui3

GetCursorPos or Cursor.Position should get you the current mouse cursor position or potentially the pen position if it is hovering and in range. I say potentially, because I don't know for sure how pen input interacts. But it looks like it takes over the mouse cursor.
Because of how touch works, you can never get any current position until it makes contact, and then you are guaranteed to get the PointerEntered event which gives the first position for that pointer.

What I gave are Windows desktop functions. That is because everything in the Windows App SDK is a library that runs in a desktop process.

I think about GetCursorPos but it give the global point. I have no idea how to convert it to local point, because I want to bind image to cursor.

I also think that I can move mouse to 1px to get PointerMoved event

Yes, the GetCursorPos documentation states:
"Retrieves the position of the cursor, in screen coordinates."
This is why ScreenToClient exists. Remember, because the mouse cursor is a system service, you have to be prepared for the situation where the cursor is outside of your window.
