How to get cursor to quit changing?

[nopeda]

Hi,

I'm using a pc with 64 bit Windows 10 Pro version 22H2. I never had a problem with my cursor changing and scrolling up and down pages online and also on Word Pad documents until about a month ago. Starting then when I'm at a web site and sometimes using Word Pad my cursor will change itself to one of a few different looks and will begin scrolling itself often very fast up or down the page, whichever way I'm trying to go with the scroll wheel. What caused it to begin doing this and how can I get it to stop? Here are some of the ways it looks, though it also has a circle around it, when it changes itself:

Thank you for any help getting it to stop doing this!

NOTE: It is now several days later and the problem is solved. In case anyone else reads this thread having the same issue, it turns out the old mouse scroll wheel was more or less worn out so that just simple scrolling pressure engaged what had previously required a deliberate press to engage it. Now I have replaced it with a new mouse that doesn't have that problem. The cursor change was caused by clicking the scroll wheel which is an intentional function of the scroll wheel I didn't know about until learn of it somewhere else. The wheel got worn and more sensitive to slight pressure engaging the cursor changes when all I was trying to do was turn the wheel to scroll up and down as normal.
