Mouse pointer doesn't reflect windows status (hand, I-beam, resize)

When using Windows 11 on an M1 Mac, I've noticed that the mouse pointer is always the *Mac* mouse pointer, and not the visual cursor as defined by state of windows. E.g. when I hover over text in Word, I don't get the I-Beam cursor, or when trying to resize a window, I don't get the 45def double-headed-arrow.

Is there a setting I've missed with this?
Using:
- macOS 13.0.1
- Windows 11 22621.819 Enterprise
- Parallels 18.1.0 (53311)

I have reinstalled Parallels Tools inside the VM just now, based on some results from another thread, and I didn't see any change. It feels like I'm missing a setting somewhere?

Yours,
Dominic

I am having the same problem. When I resize a window I have toe arrows, one follows the size of the windows the other is blocked where I first attached the edge of the window. This also reflects on my CAD program as the arrow is supposed to change when I click some icons but this won't happen unless I refresh the screen with panning or zooming.Screenshot 2023-02-15 alle 11.18.47.png

Hi Dominic, I was wondering if you were able to resolve the issue that you experienced with your mouse pointer? I have the same issue and was unable to find a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Workaround: I also found that a restart of Windows would temporarily fix this -- but that's kind of annoying -- so here's a slightly-less-annoying workaround -- I found that changing: Mouse Pointers -> Pointer Options -> Visibility -- and turning on "Display pointer trails" -- this forces the drag cursors to appear again -- if you change the trail setting to the smallest value (far left on the, 'Short') the trails effect is only barely noticeable.
