    Mouse switch from arrow to circle. BUG


    I am having an issue with my mouse. Every time I'm on chrome, or in discord. The mouse switch to an arrow to a circle with a little dot in the middle. The background of the circle seems to change color to have bigger contrast with the background. This is annoying. How can i solve it?


    Also, sometimes the cursor switch from the arrow to a line, a line with a style close as the style of the line that appears when you are wrriting text. Doing right click seems to solve this one.


    I have checked the drivers. But it is a plug and play mouse, and the drivers are up to date.


    Any guesses on this?

    :)

    Spinning blue circle next to mouse pointer

    This is an incredibly frustrating issue. I do a lot of screen capture recordings and I can't have my mouse arrow popping up a blue circle every 4 to 5 seconds. I'm not sure exactly when this started for me, but now that I'm ready to do some more recording
    I'm noticing it constantly.

    Here's a solution I've found to at least stop the blue circle:

    • Start with the Microsoft suggestion of going to the mouse properties.
    • Click on the "Pointers" tab.
    • Select the "Working In Background" pointer and click on "Browse"
    • Select the first mouse arrow option (the one that looks like a normal mouse arrow)
    This doesn't get rid of whatever is causing the system to have to keep working in the background, but it will at least make the blue circle stop popping up.

    The cursor changes the shape from the arrow to a circle with an up arrow and an arrow down

    When I have opened a program like Edge on my Windows 10 PC, the cursor changes form from an arrow to a circle with an up arrow and an arrow down.
    This new symbol can not activate anything by moving it around with the mouse.
    To close the open program, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to get to the job list.
    At the same time, the circle symbol turns into the well-known arrow, and I can continue the work normally.

    How do I avoid the annoying circle icon?
