Windows 10: mouse pointer has changed to a cross

Working with my Excel spreadsheet, my mouse pointer has changed to a cross and all of the "helps" I have found, ;accidentally clicking on Draw borders, etc. do not fix the problem. this is happening on all of my Excel files. I have gone into Start, Mouse settings, and made sure the selection is on Arrow, but to no avail. This has just started today.Windows 11, Excel 2013.

You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
  
• Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
  Apply > OK.

If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
