Windows 10: (Game Bar Issue) Windows Cursor keeps appearing over game tab when playing with Controller

I have been using Game Bar to record clips to share with my friends on Xbox ever since I switched to playing Destiny 2 on PC in January. I have continued to use my Xbox controller. In the last couple of months, the Windows cursor has started to randomly appear on-screen. I am playing in full-screen. I tried turning off my mouse (a simple Dell Bluetooth device) in case it was something related to it, but it continued to appear. If I play with mouse and keyboard, it doesn't occur (the cursor remains the in-game cursor). After updating every driver I could think of, I decided to try turning off Game Bar. The issue stopped. While I can continue to make clips and screenshots if I use Nvidia overlay, I've lost the benefit of easily sharing items with my Xbox friends and joining them in party chats.
