I have been using Windows since January 2021, but for last 1-2 months, I am facing a strange issue. Whenever I work on my laptop my mouse goes busy on a specific area on the screen. I am not able to figure out how to fix this. I resetted my pc, reinstalled mouse drivers but still I am facing this issue. But when I restart my laptop it gets fix but after some time it again happens. Could anyone help me to figure out way through this problem? I am on Windows 11 build 22000.348. I am in Windows Insider Beta Programme. Please
help me fix this.... Thanks

    I have the exact same problem and I never had this issue before my upgrade to windows 11. It goes away for a while after I reboot. I'm really anxious for a permanent fix.

    I Have the exact same problem, whenever the mouse goes in that screen region (see slightly shaded area inside highlight), the mouse pointer turns into a spinning busy wheel. Nothing can be clicked in that area. This is a clean work machine with nothing customized in here.

    As I understand it this problem has at least been fixed on the Insider Builds so presumably we must all wait for it to become a general release in one of the next updates. As with all operating systems there are teething issues and yes, some of them are pretty frustrating but sadly that's how Microsoft likes to conduct itself. Windows users are all test engineers. In the scheme of things we should count ourselves lucky that a fix has been found on the insider release, if only the same could be said for Microsoft's rubbish 'Mail' program!! That's still riddled with bugs since the rollout of Windows 10 and these are now affecting Windows 11 too. Personally I'd like to see Microsoft spending more time fixing these kind of issues rather than inventing new and unnecessary features, take the new 'Stickers', soon to be rolled out, why on earth would any sane person want those?!!

    Problem came back

    I updated windows recently
    and the problem is back ; Its not happening all the time but still bottom left corner

    cursor is always busy and I cannot select anything in that region

    Windows 11 Home

    21H2

    OS: 22000.469

    Experience : Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.469.

    Very frustrating when it comes back ; Rebooting temporarily helps ;

    I am guessing some auto process starts and causing a conflict

    I have the same issue @Shaurya Bajaj - ever since my machine upgraded to Win 11 - moving the cursor to certain regions of the screen (particularly the lower portion) results in the Windows Wait Cursor appearing and I can no longer click. Similar to another poster I've found the only solution is to shrink the application I'm working in so that it fits in upper portion of screen, click the button I need to click, and then maximise the application again. Very strange behaviour - and very frustrating too!
