Mouse Keeps Disappearing Windows 11

Anonymous

This is a very bizarre issue, and I for the life of me CANNOT find an answer or even anyone asking the same question as me. My cursor, disappears, no matter what I do, whenever it enters any sort of text related portion of a window. For example, where this becomes mighty troublesome, is in my email client (outlook) and word documents.

I understand there is an option to Hide Pointer While Typing, this is not checked in my settings (so it is disabled), and this doesn't occur when I try to type. This occurs as soon as my mouse even hovers over any text area in any window, this includes every browser I have (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc), all text document softwares, all email client softwares... you name it.

Please help me, this is super frustrating, and I can't even select sentences in notes because I cannot see my damn cursor, this forces me to shoot in the dark blind hoping I select the right parts of a document.
