I'm running OSX Big Sur 11.6.1

The mouse disappears briefly upon each startup of AffPhoto and the beachball appears for a second or two.
Once Photo has started up, the mouse re-appears and the beachball disappears.
This does not happen when starting up Designer.
However, it also happens that the mouse does not make a comeback which means that I have to shutdown
Photo without use of the mouse which frankly, with Mac is a pain in the whatsit.
Then I have to startup Photo again.
Could anyone shed any light on this behaviour ?

Thanks, C.L.

If you are talking about the spinning pinwheel, that is the Mac spinning wait cursor used to indicate that the Mac is busy doing something & cannot respond to mouse clicks. As long as it goes away quickly & is replaced by the usual mouse cursor, it is nothing to worry about.

Thanks, RC-R.

I'm not worried about the mouse reappearing, but I am worried when the mouse does not make a comeback.
To me, that indicates something might be amiss with the OS.
It's a genuine Apple bluetooth mouse, so I'm wondering if something in the startup sequence of Photo
in conjunction with Big Sur interferes with Bluetooth. 
Or, whether Big Sur is the culprit - I'm not at all happy with Big Sur - but that's beside the point.
As I said, it does not happen with Designer, nor with any of the other programs I have installed.

Do you happen to know if there's any "startup" report made in the background and where that would be saved to ?
Thanks, C.L.

Can you do Alt-Tab and get to Finder?

Do you mean CMD + Tab?
