Windows 10: Persistent Language Issue & Mouse Cursor Size

Hello everyone, I purchased an HP Spectre x360 with Windows 11 last April, and since then, I’ve been experiencing an annoying issue with the language settings that I haven’t been able to resolve. Although I’ve configured my keyboard to use English US and Arabic, English UK frequently appears as an option, even though it’s not added to my language settings. Recently, another issue has surfaced, making my experience with the laptop far from enjoyable. Each time I start the device, the mouse cursor becomes unusually large, and I have to adjust the screen scale from 200% to 175% to fix it, t

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.
