Windows 10: Mouse pointer schemes not sticking in Windows 1809

I've set my mouse scheme to standard/classic in mouse settings and have also modified the reg key to prevent theme changes (Allow or Prevent Themes to Change Mouse Pointers in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials) but still I'm getting the default spinning blue loading wheel instead of the classic mouse schemes hour glass. The rest of the mouse scheme seems to be working, it's just the loading wheel that's still on default. *Confused

:)

 

Mouse pointer schemes.


I am trying to use the Windows standard mouse pointer scheme but it keeps getting reset to the Windows default scheme at random. *Huh

 

Mouse Pointer Sticking


Every 5/10 minutes, my mouse pointer keeps sticking, for around 1 second, then jumps to where it should have been. It's almost as if the pointer isn't actually sticking but the screen isn't updating. This started happening after upgrading to Windows 10.

Any suggestions?

 

Problems with mouse pointer scheme


I recently upgraded to windows 10 which went well except my pointer "hid" behind popups.
Everything worked, if my pointer went over a selection it would highlight the selection and I could select with no problem, I just couldn't see my pointer. I was using a custom pointer scheme so I thought it might be that.
Today I reinstalled the same pointer scheme but it didn't show the same on screen but it was infront of the popups.
After about 30min it reverted back to looking like it used to but it reverted to hiding behind popups again.
I installed a new pointer scheme which worked and didn't hide but after 30 min it reverted back to the old scheme and hid again.
I know this sounds petty but it is frustrating.
Any suggestions?
