Mouse Utilities and TextExtractor

Steps to reproduce

Enable "Mouse Highlighter" or "Mouse Pointer Cross" in "Mouse Utility" in PowerToys, then press Win+Shift+S to take a screenshot, or press Win+shift+T to recognize the text on the screen (PowerToys Text Extractor).

✔️ Expected Behavior

I hope to hide "Mouse Highlighter" and "Mouse Pointer Cross" when taking screenshots. Thanks.

❌ Actual Behavior

When PowerToys enables "Mouse Highlighter" or "Mouse Pointer Cross" in "Mouse Utilities", when you press Win+Shift+S to take a screenshot, or when you use PowerToys' text extractor (Win+Shift+T), the captured image still has traces of "Mouse Highlighter" or "Mouse Pointer Cross".
