Windows 10: Mouse Pointer Turned to an Animated Hand

I was configuring my new LG Gram 17” laptop with Windows10 and somehow I changed the mouse black arrow to a hand when approaching an item the arrow turns to a hand. I’m quite comfortable working with the Settings or Control panel and I have tried everything I can think off without a success. I can change the arrow to black/white, the cursor thickness, blink rate, speed etc. but I can’t find how to get the pointer back to only an Arrow. Any help?Thanks

Mouse Pointer

Hi,

You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
  
• Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
  Apply > OK.

If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
Browse.

Update us if it addressed your issue.

 

Left-handed Mouse Pointers Revert to Windows Default on Next Bootup

My Y500 was upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. All was well for a year or two. Currently i'm on Windows 10 v.1803 (not sure of the "build" number). I use left-handed mouse pointers which i added to the Cursors folder some time ago. The large left-handed pointers are saved as the default Scheme. Recently, whenever i boot up the Y500, the mouse pointers revert to small right-handed pointers. In the Mouse Properties/Pointers dialog box it still says the Large Left-handed Scheme is selected, and it shows the large left-handed pointers in the Customize window below the Scheme name. BUT, the actual mouse pointers have reverted to small right-handed ones.

I select a different Scheme, click on Apply; then select the Large Left-handed Scheme again, and click on Apply/OK. The large left-handed pointers are all there until the next time i turn on the laptop, at which time they revert to small right-handed pointers.

How can i fix this annoying little problem, please?

 

Hand symbol mouse pointer is not working in Windows 10 Platform.

When ever we hover a mouse over a menu, we used to get a Hand Symbol mouse pointer in IE 11 & Mozilla Firefox browser on Windows 8 platform. Where as now, in Windows 10 platform we are not getting the hand symbol mouse pointer in both IE11 (ver 11.7) & Mozilla
Firefox.(Ver 48).

Is Hand symbol mouse pointer is not supported in windows 10 Platform ? or do we need to update the drivers for mouse pointers ?

Can some one please tell us how to enable the hand symbol mouse pointer in Windows 10 platform.
