    How to PERMANENTLY make and keep Cursor Extra-large and black?

    Thank you for your answer. I followed your instructions and got the cursor Black, Extra-large system scheme and applied. So then I did a restart but the cursor came back as small white cursor. I need to learn how to keep it the way I want whenever I
    start my W10 Toshiba laptop.
