Mouse Disappears Whenever I Open a New Window

I have a Macbook, I'm running MacOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6.

Yesterday, I updated my computer, and I have an issue where anytime a new window is opened, the cursor disappears. This happens when I select any app from the bottom bar. I can get the mouse back by clicking on the top bar on my screen.

I've tried changing the cursor size, but that hasn't had any impact. Any other suggestions? Let me know if this has been answered before, I haven't found any solutions that have worked.

MacBook, macOS 10.13

Try rebooting the mac to get the update to settle in.

If you already rebooted, then I would suggest Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-10 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. You can test in this environment after you log in.

Then reboot as normal and test in your working environment.
