Windows 10: Cursor Shape

Hey everybody, I was wondering if there is a way to change the shape of the cursor. I know that there is a way to change the color, but I got a little tired of the shape.


Please write back if you have any ideas, they will be greatly accepted.

Cursor changes shape

The cursor changes shape from the normal arrow to one or more vertical lines with hatching. Restarting the computer fixes the problem, but only for an hour or two. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

 

cursor changed shape

Hi Jilly,

One of the possible reasons that this issue occurs is due to configuration in settings or outdated drivers. For us to isolate the issue, we’ll need the following details:

• Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?
• Is this issue isolated in the Adobe application or all applications including desktop?

As an initial troubleshooting, we recommend that you reset the mouse cursor settings by following these steps:

• Click on the Start button then type
  Mouse & Touchpad settings in search box and then press Enter.
• Then, click on Additional Mouse Option and click the
  Pointers tab.
• After that, click Use Default and click on
  Apply, then click on OK

If issue persists, follow these steps to update or uninstall your driver:

• Click the Start button, type “device manager” in the search box and then select Device Manager.
• In the list of hardware categories, double-click Mice and other pointing devices and then double-click the device name.
• Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver or Uninstall, and then follow the instructions.

Note: If you uninstall your driver, just restart your computer for the device to be installed automatically.

Let us know the result after doing the troubleshooting steps.

 

Cursor stuck on arrow and will not change shape

Running windows 10 and office 2016, this morning the mouse decided to be stuck on the arrow shape and will not change shape when you're in office (esp excel when you need the cross hair or line) or even hovering over the internet bar, is stays as an arrow
- I've done driver updates and set cursor to windows default with no luck, also I've done no system updates for the past 2 weeks - any help is appreciated?
