    Hi Benny,

    I understand how distracting it can be to see a “ghost” cursor when typing or browsing in Bing. This type of issue is usually related to browser rendering, extensions, cached site data, or graphics driver/acceleration behavior. Please try these checking steps:

    1, Test in InPrivate mode

    • Open Edge and press Ctrl + Shift + N.
    • Go to Bing and check if the ghost cursor still appears.

    2, Disable extensions

    • Go to edge://extensions/
    • Turn off all extensions, then restart Edge and test again.

    3, Clear cached data

    • Go to edge://settings/privacy
    • Select Choose what to clear
    • Clear Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data.

    4, Turn off graphics acceleration

    • Go to edge://settings/system
    • Turn off Use graphics acceleration when available
    • Restart Edge.

    Please also ensure to update Edge - go to edge://settings/help and install any available update, then restart the browser.

    If the issue still happens, please try creating a new Edge profile or testing Bing in another browser to confirm whether the problem is specific to the current Edge profile or related to the device’s display/graphics configuration.
