Windows 10: How to add a yellow circle highlight around the mouse cursor in Windows 11

Hello Community, I’ve noticed in many tutorial videos that the mouse pointer is surrounded by a yellow circle highlight see screenshot below. Is there a way to enable this feature on a Windows 11 PC without using third-party tools or applications? I’d greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you!

Left and right mouse buttons have an unwanted highlight colour circle when clicked

Windows 10 sometimes lags when I type, and it lagged about ten characters at one point. When Notepad caught up, a strange new feature was apparent: clicking the left mouse button causes an annoying yellow circle to appear at the cursor, and clicking the right mouse button causes an annoying blue circle to appear at the cursor. I can't find any way to turn this off or disable it. I have never installed any cursor software to enable this sort of thing, and I haven't found any running programs or processes for popular software that allows this sort of thing.

It seems to have also replaced the cursor for some functions. For example, I no longer see the cursor in the particular size and colour I chose in Windows settings. Instead, the damn yellow circle follows the cursor when selecting text.

I suspect I have accidentally typed a key combination that has enabled this "feature".

Has anyone seen this feature or behaviour? How do I disable it?

 

Spinning blue circle on mouse cursor

I have two problems in windows 10 which are likely connected. Today I tried to access my firewall settings to allow a website to be bypassed. When I clicked on "Firewall and network protection" nothing opened up. However, I now have a flashing blue circle
on my mouse cursor. I have tried rebooting but this didn't help. I presume something has happened regarding the firewall, but I can't access it to turn it off or change the settings. As I am not a techie, please be kind and answer using step by step or non-technical
language. Thanks in advance.
