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 think OP was referring to the "Windows Wait Cursor" which appears when you move the mouse into certain regions of the screen - and it stops you from clicking/scrolling until you move the mouse back out of that region.
    Do you have any suggested fixes for this behaviour?

    I have exactly the same problem -- after Windows 11 upgrade the cursor goes spinning in a specific square shaped portion of the screen, regardless of the application running. If I click in that area in an app it will switch to the desktop. But the desktop has the same "busy" signal on the mouse in that same area, and then nothing happens when I click there. This is definitely a Windows 11 bug and quite a bizarre one. Please could Microsoft help? This is an extremely bad bug that ruins some applications. Thank you!

    PS In some apps I can see the rectangle on teh screen where this happens as if it is a hidden or transparent window of some unknown app that overlays all others
