[PC] ME 2 LE version mouse not disappearing while playing.

Question

Hey guys!This is the first time I’m actually playing the series (finished ME 1 yesterday, and sheeesh, what a game!).Anyway, I just started playing ME 2 on LE version, and there is a glitch with my mouse cursor. Basically, when I’m playing it, the cursor just moves around when I move the camera, and it won’t disappear. It stays moving around when I move the camera and it affects the immersion of the game.Some things that might be important:I play through XBOX Game Pass Ultimate (which includes an EA Play membership).I started the game with my Shepard from ME 1.I have an XBOX One controller, but I don’t play with it. I did disconnect it before playing, but no luck.It doesn’t matter if I change the game resolution or switching between fullscreen, borderless fullscreen or windowed mode.Alt-tabbing doesn't work.What I did till now:Verified game files in the EA App. Didn't find any error.I do know that mouse issues are common in this game, since I have found a lot of topics of some random mouse glitches the OT version (not only here in the EA Forums, but many others websites).&nbsp;Can someone help me? I sent a video in the attachments so you can see what I'm talking about (sorry for the quality, I recorded with my phone), and the Dxdiag.

n0SCOP3X​&nbsp;What happens if you play in fullscreen/borderless/windowed?&nbsp;
Do you have Mouse Pointer Trails enabled, if so disable it.&nbsp;Do you a have other input devices connected?&nbsp;
Als try to disconnect your keyboard in game and see it that make the pointer disappear.&nbsp;

Nothing changes, as I saidNo mouse pointer trail enable, and the input devices connected are keyboard (I disconnected, but no luck), mouse, joystick and headset.I will try uninstalling the game and try again. But I think that won't help.

I over-read that part, sorry.&nbsp;
If the fresh install still doesn't work, try a clean boot:A clean boot is a process that starts Windows with a minimal set of services and startup programs. This can help eliminate or find software conflicts.How to perform the clean boot:

Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type “msconfig” (Without the quotes.) &gt; Enter.
In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab.
Check the box that says, “Hide all Microsoft services”.
Click Disable all. (Make sure the EABackgroundService remains enabled.)
Go to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.
In the Task Manager, disable all startup items that are activated.
Close Task Manager and go back to the System Configuration window, then click OK.
Restart the computer, the PC will start into clean boot mode.
Test the Game.

Reinstalling didn't help, but the clean boot did.

Now how do I know what program might be causing that? Do I need to enable one by one + restarting every single time and testing the game? That would take a lot of time.

Could you point some programs that could cause that interference? My guess is Overwolf (for TS3), since it has its own in-game overlay.
