Windows 10: Windows 10 Mouse Pointer Doesn't Change in Video Games

Hello,


I use my Windows 10 machine primarily to play video games such as World of Warcraft and League of Legends. Recently, when opening up the game, I have noticed that my mouse pointer doesn't change to the in-game versions of the pointer and instead stays as the Windows 10 default pointer. This reduces the functionality of the mouse in some games. I have done a lot of research online and the standard fixes have not worked. This began yesterday evening 3/15/21. I checked updates as well and am fully up to date. I also checked for driver updates. I also checked to see if using a different mouse fixed the issue and it did not. Please kindly advise on how I might solve this.


Thank you.

:)
