Mouse Doesn't Work In One Program In Remote Desk

Due to the pandemic, I am working from home and for some reason, when I log into my remote desktop for work, my mouse doesn't work in one of the programs I need for work. It works fine in all the windows/programs, but for some reason, it doesn't work when I open this particular program. I just find it weird that it works on my personal desktop and remote desktop until I click on this one particular program. Any ideas on what I should do to correct this?

Edit: I am in the process of trying to see if my work's IT department can figure it out, but I just wanted to hear from others in the meantime.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William, I’m an Independent Advisor. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Try the following on the remote computer: go to Start > Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional mouse options > Pointers > under Scheme select a different scheme, e.g. Windows Black (System Scheme).
