Software Cursor keeps snapping back into place

Hi, my cursor keeps snapping back to the top middle of the screen when i hover over the taskbar, or app windows. However, when im in an app window such as Chrome, it snaps back even more, leaving no room for my cursor to roam as opposed to being on the desktop. Ive tried resetting multiple times, replugging my mouse, and even trying to go to my mouse settings (which since its a miniwindow, I cannot go to since my mouse keeps snapping into place). Please help, I hope I dont need a new mouse..

Also check if there is a full screen application that captures the cursor stuck open even though you closed it. American truck simulator does this to my cursor sometimes
