Windows 10: Laptop cursor not working and cursor file missing/corrupt

I'm unable to use the touchpad on my laptop and after a lot of checking on my laptop, it says that a file called "pin_eoa.cur" is either missing or corrupt. It says that it contains the "Location Select" cursor. However, whenever I use command sfc/scannow, it says all files are working properly. How can I recover this file and fix my touchpad again?

Cursor files corrupt or missing

My laptop just completely froze, couldn't press any buttons or move mouse and screen was frozen but music was still playing so I had to do a hard reboot and when I turned it back on I had a larger looking cursor and an hour glass next to it when things
were loading like older windows OS had. I went to change it back to the windows 10 cursor in mouse and trackpad setting but as soon as I open up the pointer tab in additional mouse options I get a pop up telling me all of my aero.cur files are either missing
or corrupt. Restarting laptop again had no effect.
