Windows 10: My PC mouse cursor and taskbar text size are smaller than the default settings, and the bug...

There is an issue where, whenever I booted up my pc recently. The mouse cursor and the text of the taskbar became super small and messed up the text size of one of the games I was playing Roblox. I restarted the pc at least 7 times and shut it down 3 times. The bug still happens. And no matter how many times I restarted my pc, it still would have a smaller cursor than the default settings. The bug happened when I shut down my pc for the night, and when I woke up and got on it. The cursor was tinier than normal, and the text size for the taskbar was also tinier. Please fix this issue.

Sizing the tool bars in windows live mail

Hi Howard,

Thank you for your response.

There is no such options available to particularly make texts larger in such sections.

The only option you can try is to Hold the Ctrl + Mouse Scroll to increase
the text size/Zoom the text size.

I would also suggest you to check the below steps and check if it helps.

• Press Start button.
• Type Larger or Smaller, Select the Make text and other items Larger or Smaller.
• Try adjusting the Font Size and check.

Note: This options changes the Fonts on the whole in Windows depending on the selections of option.

Example: Taskbar, Menus.

Keep us posted to help you better.

mouse cursor corrupt

Hi



Welcome to Microsoft community.



It sounds like the custom cursor file you've downloaded and applied for your Windows 10 system is either missing or corrupted, which is causing the erratic behavior of your mouse cursor. Here's how you can fix it:

1. Change the Cursor to Default:
   
   • Go to Settings by pressing Windows + I.
     
   • Click on Devices.
     
   • Select Mouse from the left pane, then click on Additional mouse options.
     
   • In the Mouse Properties window, go to the Pointers tab.
     
   • Under the Scheme, select Windows Default (system scheme) or any other default option available.
     
   • Click Apply, then OK to save the changes.
     
2. Check for the Missing or Corrupted File:
   
   • Navigate to the location mentioned in the error message
     
     C:\Users\Vmzla\Downloads\macOS-BigSur-Regular-Windows\
     
   • If the Default.cur file is indeed missing or appears to be of an unusually small size (which could indicate corruption), you'll need to download the cursor pack again or choose another one.
     
3. Download Cursor File Again:
   
   • Find a reputable source to download the macOS cursor pack for Windows.
     
   • Download the cursor pack and extract it to a known location.
     
4. Reapply the New Cursor:
   
   • Follow the first step to open the Mouse Properties window.
     
   • This time, instead of choosing a default scheme, click on Browse and navigate to where you've extracted the new cursor pack.
     
   • Select the appropriate .cur file for the 'Normal Select' cursor and click Open.
     
   • Click Apply, then OK to save the changes.
     
5. Update Windows and Drivers:
   
   • Ensure your Windows 10 is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and clicking on Check for updates.
     
   • Update your mouse or touchpad driver through Device Manager by right-clicking on the start menu, selecting Device Manager, finding your mouse or touchpad under Mice and other pointing devices, right-clicking on it, and selecting Update driver.
     

If after these steps, your cursor is still behaving erratically, consider restarting your computer if you haven't already. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix unexpected issues.



Let me know if you need further assistance.
