Ubuntu 17.04 - Everything works great except there is a weird square behind the mouse

Okay, yesterday, I received a software update from nvidia, I don't remember name nor version number, it was just 276kb. It came with ubuntu software update. Now I don't have the annoying stupid square behind my cursor. Everything works fine. I have dell inspiron 7559 i7 6700 with Nvidia GT 960M. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I'm using the nvidia graphics card, intel one does not work with display link! screen shows up but no windows or menus.

UPDATE:
Sometimes the square comes back (after rebooting, or logging in out). However if I logout and login again (using nvidia graphics) it disappears.
