Explanation

In Windows, the cursor trail feature is managed under Ease of Access (Settings > Ease of Access > Mouse pointer). A coworker may have accidentally enabled 'Display pointer trails' to assist visibility. While Mouse settings in Control Panel also expose pointer options, on modern Windows the Ease of Access settings hub is the primary location for mouse pointer visual enhancements, including trails. The other options-User Settings and Display-do not contain cursor trail controls.
