Windows 10: can i get a different pointer i cant see the white arrow

I just want a different pointer

:)

 

Mouse pointer changes to arrow with a vertical scroll bar

The only change I had made was to install Open Office. I just uninstalled it and the issue remains after a restart.

The pointer looks like the 5th and 6th pointers in the pointer list from the Mouse Settings.

As for running trouble shooting:

My settings window does not have drop down list in the upper right.

I do not find anything labeled Troubleshooting in the Settings window so can not get to steps 4 & 5.

 

Pointer disappears

a couple of ideas....

Are you using the black arrow (large) for the pointer?

What kind of screen background does your pc wake up to?

For test purposes, I shut down my laptop and noted where my pointer was at shutdown. When my login page next appeared, the pointer was positioned exactly in the center of the screen but pointer was now a different small white one.

I am on skip ahead build 18204.
