Windows 10: Two mouse pointers on screen one fixed in the top centre the other ghosts in and out

I have recently upgraded to Windows 11 on my SB-2 and have downloaded the most recent updates. I use a MS Arc Mouse. Approx a week ago I noticed that after the screen goes into sleep mode, when it comes back on again, there are two mouse pointers, one frozen and immobile in the top centre of the screen the second is just a line and only visible when I move the mouse. Also the track pad does not work. I have tried uninstalling the mouse drivers, and re booting the SB-2, re setting windows and a today I tried a hard boot completely wiping the hard drive and re installing windows 11 from scratch

Mouse Pointer

Hi,

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
Browse.

Update us if it addressed your issue.
