Mouse cursor is too big

I have a Windows 11 and a Wacom Cintiq drawing pad. I mainly use Adobe Animate. For some reason, whenever I move my cursor into the drawing area and the timeline, my mouse gets extremely large. This is also the case when I'm using things like the brush tool, which gets annoying since the size of my cursor doesn't match the size of what I am trying to draw. I had previously used a Macbook with the same Cintiq drawing pad and it didn't have this issue.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ok I actually found the solution while playing around with the display settings. I had to make the resolution of my computer match up with the resolution of the drawing pad. The computer was originally at 3200 x 2000 and the pad is at 1920 x 1080. I changed the computer to 1920 x 1200. I also needed to make the scaling on my drawing pad 150%. I then reset my computer and it worked.

Which screen? The computer or the drawing pad? I've been experimenting a lot with the scaling but nothing's worked too well.
