Mouse Pointer Suddenly Changes to Pointing Hand in Safari and Google Chrome

Hello - The mouse pointer on my Mac Mini has suddenly changed into a pointing gloved hand. This happens when selecting a menu item, picture, or link in Google Chrome or Safari. It happened before and either went away or I cannot remember what intervention got rid of it. It makes selecting something seem less precise and when it changes from one to another there is a disconnect and delay. How did this happen and how can I get it to always be a pointer. See picture. Thank you.

Earlier Mac models

Thank you for the screenshot.


Troubleshooting Unknown Cursors:

Create another Administrator User. See if you still get the same error. If not, then it is none other than a preference you set somewhere on your user account. If so, then it is an issue with the entity macOS, iclci case you simply resin tall it.
