Mouse slides to the secondary screen in any game

Hello, Windows support itself sent me to post my error on this website because they weren't able to give me an answer because I was in the INSIDER program, which I had to access to see if an Insider update would fix the problem, but it didn't.

My problem is the following: I have two screens, but since I updated to version X of Windows around February 12, 2025, now any game I open and am playing, if I slide the mouse to the other screen, I see that the mouse moves there, so if I interact with the game, the mouse clicks on the other screen, leaving the game in the background.
I'll attach a video playing Schedule 1 so you understand what I mean. It happens to me in Valorant, League of Legends, COD, Fortnite, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, any game, whatever... my only salvation to keep playing has been D.M.T... I find it unfortunate having to download an app that does what Windows has always done: keep the mouse on the screen in every game until you release it with ALT + ESC, or CTRL + ESC, typical macros...I've tried resetting mouse settings, updating driver and graphics graphics, I've tried almost everything and nothing. I've read similar posts, and almost all of them end with "D.M.T."
This bug was supposed to be fixed in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22635.4435 KB5044377, which is why I signed up for INSIDER because they promised it would be fixed.
I quote verbatim.
[Input]
Fixed an underlying issue which could cause the mouse to unlock from a game window on a system with multiple monitors after opening and closing Game Bar, so you couldn't use it in-game.

Although I have never used Game Bar... but oh well.
