A few quick checks resolve most PointerPause setup issues.

PointerPause needs Accessibility access

Open System Settings, select Privacy & Security, then Accessibility, and enable PointerPause. Quit and reopen the app if macOS does not recognize the change immediately.

The pointer stays paused too long

Open PointerPause from the menu bar and lower the recovery delay. New installations begin at 0.8 seconds.

PointerPause is not active

Confirm that PointerPause is enabled and its menu-bar status is green. An orange status means the application needs attention, such as Accessibility approval.
