Windows 10: How do i change the default pointer?

I have currently modified how my mouse pointer looks though every time i restart/shutdown this pc the pointer changes to the Microsoft default, I'd had to change the pointer to the one i set every time it starts up, is there a setting to change this or is this non-changeable?

unknown icons shows next to mouse pointer. can anyone identify this?

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.

• Are you facing any issues with that icon coming up with the mouse?
• Have you made any changes to the mouse pointer?

This is usually because of the mouse pointer changes.

I would suggest you to default the mouse pointer Scheme and check if the issue resolves.

• Press Windows + X keys, select Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, Select Pointers.
• Select Windows default (System scheme) in the Scheme list.
• Click Apply, OK and check.

Keep us posted if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
