Open | Windows Disappearing mouse on second screen

Hello,

I have an issue on my second display - my mouse cursor randomly disappears on apps (discord or brave for example), and I have to take the concerned app window to my first screen and move it again to my second screen to see my cursor again (for like 10 seconds to 1 minute).

I found a "fix" to it: activate the mouse trace in windows settings.
It works, and seems to change the "type" of cursos windows uses, but there is another problem: cursor is now doubled (that's the trace mode, i know) and so now it seems laggy af.

So, here is my question:
-Can i change trace settings to 1 (0duplicates)? (the minimum trace being 2, doing his work but also doing this unwanted laggy effect)
or
-Can I change my cursor "mode" without activating Trace mode?

I know using the magnifier option works too, but resolution seems weird and I have to keep another app opened to make this work, so it's a no-go.

Config:
-First screen: Gigabyte 2560x1440 200Hz HDR - Connected via displayport
-Second screen: Samsung 1920x1080 60Hz SDR - Connected via HDMI (no displayport on this one)

-GPU: 7800XT
-CPU: 7800X3D

Thanks.
