    Cursor animations sometimes working.

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I see that you are using a Custom mouse cursor. Ideally, the animation of the cursor depends on the action that you are performing using the mouse. You can try removing the cursor, re-add it and check if the animations work fine. Please follow the
    steps mentioned below to remove the cursor:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type control and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Select Large icons from the drop down for
      view by.
    4. Click on Mouse, and click on
      Pointers
      tab.
    5. Select the cursor from the drop down menu that you have installed and click on
      Delete.
    6. If you receive any prompt, click on OK.
    7. Once the cursor is deleted, install it again and check.


    If the issue persists, I suggest you to get in touch with the cursor developer team to help you further with the issue.

  3. Animated cursor no longer works.

    Hello Andrew,

    As you are facing issues with accessing the animated cursor on Windows 10, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know if you have made any changes to the operating system other than installing the editor program?

    Try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to run SFC scan to check if there are any animation files corrupted/ missing.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a
    Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Step 2: I recommend you to install all the pending updates on your device and check if it helps.

    Steps:

    • Connect to the internet.
    • Press Windows key and type updates.
    • Click on Check for updates.
    • Under Windows Updates, click on Check for updates.
    • Try to install the updates being shown.

    Hope it helps. Try the above and update us the status of this issue with the required information, we will be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

    Hi Robert,

    Thank you for responding and updating the status of this issue.

    Good to know that you are able to access the animated cursor by rolling back the drivers.

    Try the below troubleshooting steps to fix the issues with scroll function and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Fix the driver issues.

    Press Windows + X keys from the keyboard, click on
    Device Manager and on Scan for hardware changes.

    Step 2: I suggest you to run Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

    Hardware and Devices troubleshooter checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

    • Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
      Troubleshooting and select it.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
      Troubleshooting window.
