the first place to look would be:

1) In the Windows search bar, type Themes and related settings, then go to that Settings page.

2) On the Themes screen, click the item that says Mouse cursor

3) A window will pop up. Click the Pointer options tab.

4) Make sure the Hide pointer while typing box is unchecked.

If that doesn't help, at least we eliminated it as a possibility.
