If you can use HDR, it might mean that you are using a television, not a computer monitor. Most recent televisions, meaning all that support HDR, have video processing that creates up to 750ms of video lag. To keep audio and video in sync, these TVs artificially introduce an equivalent delay in the audio. When looking at a movie, you don't really notice that what you are looking at is 750ms later than the source (Blue ray player, Youtube app etc). BUT, if you are mouving a mouse pointer or playing an action game, such a lag is extremely anoying. This is why most of these TVs have a "Gamer" mode that disables all video processing and any lag that comes with it. Try this, that's what fixed my "Mouse lag on windows 11" that plaged me for the last two months. I sadly did not noticed that it started when I swapped my moniter for a fire TV!! 😞 😞 😞 😞 !!
