Cursor disappearing only when moved to dock.

Occasionally, when I move my cursor to the dock of my MacBook Pro laptop it will disappear. The only solution I have come up with is closing my laptop for about 15 seconds and then the cursor will re-appear. How I fix this? I have already tried to increase the size of the cursor with no luck.

Mouse is freezing when reaching and trying to hover the dock My dock is on the left of a MacBookPro i7 with additional 32"screen on the right. The dock is hidden and appears when reaching the left side on the MacBook. When hovering over the dock, the mouse keeps freezing or hides, when not moving the mouse. It then is difficult to position the mouse, because as a reaction of the freeze, when i pull the mouse, it moves like a jump, so the dock hides again. This happens since update to Monterey 12.4. Anyone else has this issue or a solution to this, because i don't see a possibility to change it in the settings. Thanks in advance.

MacBook Pro dock and menu bar quit unexpectedly I just got a new brand new MacBook Pro 13 inch (Intel). I am facing this issue where the dock and the menu bar quits unexpectedly every 15 mins or so and starts back again. I tried deleting the plist file for the dock, ran first aid on the disk but nothing worked. Any idea what might be causing it? Any possible fixes for the issue?

Dock Hiding and Not Showing on Mouse-over Sometimes, after waking up my MacBook the dock wont show. I've been having this problem since updating to Big Sur. Is anyone else having this problem? It comes back if I go to the system preferences and changing the magnification or uncheck and recheck "Automatically hide and show the dock." I've tried deleting the "com.apple.dock.plist" file from the Preferences folder but that hasn't fixed the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
