Wondering if anyone on Windows 11 platform has encountered this problem - not specific to Quicken.

Question

Something changed and I don't think it is a Quicken problem but it appears in Quicken and Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. Perphaps, someone encountered the problem and knows how to fix it.

In Quicken, when I move the mouse cursor to the ribbon (HOME SPEND BILLS & INCOME …) it turns from an arrow to a BRIGHT WHITE hand ( with index finger raised).  Bright enough to startle you. (It occurs in other places as well.)

I think it began after an update from Microsoft or a BIOS update from Samsung. Just wondering if someone else has encountered this and knows the solution. Unfortunately, it reverts to normal brightness when I take a screenshot or video of the screen, so it is difficult to show.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

Mine has always behaved like that as long as I remember. I don't view it as a problem (tho sometimes it changes to a different finger!😉)

@FredArthur I noticed that myself a little while ago.  If you change your "Color profile" in your Windows 11 settings it might remedy the situation.  For my own computer settings, I noticed that I if change the color profile from HDR to Vivid, the "bright white hand"  dims down back to normal.  HDR is a very intense color scheme.  It makes whites very bright in some applications.  I think if you adjust your color profile, I think you will find a setting that will tone down the brightness.
