Well, I thought this was going to work, but alas it didn’t resolve the issue. I have since tried so many things it’s crazy. I just stumbled across a Youtube vid with a tip that seems to be working 99% of the time: enable cursor/mouse trails.
In Cortana/Search Windows type: main.cpl
click on the first option.
Then hit the Pointer Options tab on the Mouse Properties window.
Check the box for “Display pointer trails” and adjust the slider to short if you want a minimal trail.
Give that a go. Works for me.
