Windows 10: mouse pointers - I want arrow without pointing finger hand!!

I am irritated by the pointing finger hand on my mouse - I cannot find an option?

Pointer arrow changes to a pointing finger

On Lenovo Flex laptop, in Windows, my mousepad pointer changes from an arrow to a pointing finger when I hover over a link or button. Nothing will open. How do I change it back?

 

Pointer arrow changes to a pointing finger

Hello, thanks to contact the Microsoft Community. My name is Israel Torres, I am an Independent Advisor.

Revise if you have this configuration:

Push the Windows Key, type Change the mouse pointer display or speed into the Windows search box, and press Enter.

In Windows 8, typing anywhere on the Start Screen brings up the search box automatically.

In the Mouse Properties window that appears, click the Pointers tab.

On the Pointers tab (shown below), select the mouse cursor you want to change in the Customize section. For instance, the cursor you see normally is the Normal Select pointer, and the spinning cursor you see while your computer is working is the Busy pointer.

After you've made your selection, click Browse.

Windows Mouse Properties - change single pointer

Clicking the Browse button brings up a list of every cursor installed on your hard drive. Select a cursor from the list and then click Open.

Mouse cursor select screen

After selecting a replacement mouse cursor, you should see it change in the Mouse Properties window. In the image below, you can see that we've changed the Normal Select cursor.

Newly selected mouse cursor

Click Apply and then OK to save the changes.

My cursor pointer changes to hand

Hello, this is a new laptop, and I have not yet hooked it up with a mouse. In fact I do not get an arrow at all anywhere. Just the straight cursor and the finger-pointing hand.
