Custom mouse cursor problems

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the system doesn't work as it should.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

1. Is the issue specific to that custom mouse cursor?
   
2. Are you able to see the normal cursor while using the Touchscreen?
   

Ideally, when you use touch screen, mouse cursor will not be visible.

Reply with more information to help you further.

How to install:
Extract/place the cursor files from zip in the cursor folder (usually C:\Windows\Cursors) then got to mouse pointer settings and browse for the installed files after selecting the working and busy states. Apply or even save the new scheme under a new name, to easily switch back between different cursors via the drop-down theme list:

 

Custom Cursors

They are as Hopachi named them so I left them alone. Either way it's easy to pick the correct one when I browse for them in mouse settings.

Explain step-by-step how you attempted to apply them?
