Windows 11 client cursor missing

[Gabriel Aquilano]

Recently I upgraded from the 2.3 beta to the release version. 

I had to upgrade from windows 10 to 11 in one of my clients right before that; my other computers are running 11 just fine. For some reason, on THIS one, no matter what, the cursor does not show when it connects with the server (the master). Even if I shutdown completely ID, the cursor stays hidden. 

The peculiarity of this system - it's a Dell mobile workstation that has a Xeon processor, one of those sadly not supported by Windows 11 out of the box; it is definitely not an ancient system, probably 2017-2019 or so, anyways... I had to use a hack to install 11 because it's been months with windows 10 updates causing a disaster every couple of weeks (and I'm being literal... no amount of windows recovery or hacking tools could get rid of error messages, random freezes, and even the network connectivity acting like when the TCP/IP stack 'died' in the windows 98 era). I'm asking before trying a downgrade to a previous release of ID in case someone saw this before.

one thing I might add - when this happens, Listary (a launcher, similar to Spotlight in Macs) does not launch normally anymore - instead of showing the search bar, it shows a weird search window , looks like some sort of fallback mechanism.
