1) download F.LUX
2) make the screen the color you want on the slider bar
i keep mine all the way to the right which is normal brightness, you may have to edit the scheduling where it doesn't dim your screen later
3) right click on the flux app in your task bar --> Options and Smart Lighting --> Tuning --> tick ON
4) Voila! All done. You're welcome =)

Just some technical info.
It was so many moons ago. Even there were some ideas to make it work (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/1299)
So, why it was not working by default for old methods of window/game capture in the past?
The cursors in OBS is drawn in the place where the cursor should be (it is not "captured", it is emulated, drawn by OBS itself). That is why you can switch it on/off (because this is separate image that should be placed at some coordinates, that's all). Cursor is always separated from the captured image. It drawn later, only when the whole picture is ready. Thus, only when OBS captures the "final" image rendered by PC - you getting cursor in it as it is. The "final" image here is whole desktop composition (not just some game window). OBS uses static image of the cursor to make the rendering simple and fast.
