Windows 10: Cursor isnt moving smoothly when I play games on my external monitor

My mouse when I play games is always laggy now and doesn't move the way it used to about 3 - 4 months ago. On windows my mouse is perfectly fine and moves smoothly but when I open games and move my mouse it feels a bit choppy and laggy. This affects my gameplay becasue the camera doesnt move around smoothly and it just doesn't look or feel like it is moving smoothly. It's a nightmare trying to play games with a laggy cursor. This issue doesn't happen when I play on my laptop instead of on the monitor.

Mouse cursor invisible when playing any full screen game (Windows 10)

For the past day and a half whenever I am playing a fullscreen game I can not see my cursor, however, it does still work as in I am still able to press buttons or play the game normally outside of menus. I have tried to generic results given to everyone
which were designed for Windows8:

Method 1:

I would suggest you to disable it and check for the results. Follow the steps to do so:

• Press Windows and X keys together and select Control Panel.
• Click on Mouse.
• Navigate to pointer options tab.
• Under Visibility, uncheck the box which says “display pointer trails”.
• Click on OK to close the window.

Check if you find the same issue. If yes, move to the next method.

Method 2:

Follow the steps below to change the display text size to 100 % and check if it resolves the issue:

• Right Click on the desktop screen and select Personalize.
• Click on Display.
• Check the box that says “let me choose one scaling level for all my display”. Choose Smaller (100%)-default.
• Click on Apply. Restart the game and check if the point becomes invisible again.
