(window's default) mouse cursor appearing whenever I click

Hi all!

I was replaying the whole trilogy on PC recently, and noticed a minor annoyance on mass effect 2.

Whenever I click on my  mouse in-game, the 'Window's default' mouse cursor briefly appears in front of the game's mouse cursor.

Whenever I click something, or shoot, the windows cursor rapidly appears, and is quite annoying.

Is there any solution to this? or am i the only one who is experiencing this?

I'm playing on windows 10 without any mods installed ☹️

Origin Ver.

win 10 x64

gtx 980

8gb ram

i7 3770

Thanks in advance!

    I figured out the reason:

    The problem was caused by my "Korean' keyboard.

    GTA 5 has a tendency to disable international keyboards into English only keyboards, causing ME2's cursor problem to solve itself after running GTA 5, because my keyboard is now English only (lol)

    I'll have to turn my keyboard into English-only keyboard when playing ME2 from now on 🙂 (very easy to do, one-click away).

    Disable "Origin in Game" > restart Origin > Test.

    If that don't helps disable your pointer trail if enabled.

    Should that don't help, please report back.

    Do you run the game in Windowed or full-screen mode?

    Did you restarted Origin after disabling the Overly?

    Did you restarted Origin after disabling the Overly? (Added that later, not sure if you saw it)

    Do you have third party software for your mouse installed?

    Yep just tried restarting origin, no change.

    I do have Logitech gaming software installed, but same thing happened before installing the program

    I really appreciate your quick replies!

    No problem.

    Do you have any other overlay software, Geforce Experience, Fraps, MSI Afterburner as example, installed. 

    Is it possible that a Windows program tries to get in the foreground constantly? (Pop-ups etcetera)

    Just uninstalled geforce experience, nope!

    Couple of hours ago, i even tried reinstalling windows (after formatting), but same thing happened. I'm guessing every windows 10 users (at least) must be experoencing this. It's really weird because this doesn't happen in the first, nor the third game.

    Which windows build do you use? (Is the AU already installed?)

    I run the game on Windows 10 Pro build15086 and a gtx1070 (GTX970 before) without that issue.

    Windows 10 home version. (Build 10240)
    What do you mean by AU?
