mouse pointer

How do I get rid of the circle around my mouse pointer. Every time I move the mouse the circle comes up and then times out after a couple of seconds. It's distracting.

Is there a color associated with the circle.. you don't say much about it...




is see third party apps for example: red circle around mouse when click - Apple Community



To trouble shoot further you can:


—A SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.




—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
