  1. Question: Can you still use custom mouse cursors and other things from XP in Windows 11?...


    I’ve been pondering the idea of going all the way back to using Windows XP when Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025 by ordering a refurbished PC with XP on eBay or a similar site. Instead of taking that risky route to relive the 2000s, which was back when authority figures & family members had much more respect for my dream of mastering math and computer science than they do today, I’ll use all the chances I have to make Windows 11 look like Windows XP, and function with all the legacy features like CD/DVD tech on VLC.

    :)

  2. Custom mouse cursor problems

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Appreciate your efforts to work on this issue.

    I can understand the situation must be difficult for you when the system doesn't work as it should.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

    1. Is the issue specific to that custom mouse cursor?
    2. Are you able to see the normal cursor while using the Touchscreen?
    Ideally, when you use touch screen, mouse cursor will not be visible.

    Reply with more information to help you further.

    Regards,

    Srimadhwa B

    Custom Cursors

    @Hopachi

    I use VirtualBox to test out cursors in virtual machines. Custom cursors works on any version of Windows such as Windows 95 all the way up to Windows 11. I also tried to make 8-bit cursors and they look jagged. However, you can make a jagged cursor set just for fun. You do not have to make it, but this is just a suggestion describing that it is possible to create jagged cursor sets.

    Please go to the new thread on the ElevenForums and upload any cursor set that you want to make for Windows 11. Please bare in mind that Windows 11 is not finished yet, so it is still in the works. Microsoft will release Windows 11 early next year, but the later Windows 11 is released, the better this new operating system shall be.

    When Windows 11 is officially released, we shall see if this new version of Windows includes new cursor roles. In the meantime, be as creative as you can. Enjoy my new Custom Cursors forum on the ElevenForums.com site.

    How to make mouse cursor move in XP like Windows 7?

    I switched back to Windows XP from Windows 7 recently for a few reasons, I'm having trouble with the mouse cursor though and find it doesn't move exactly the same as it does in Windows 7. It's a little hard to describe, but in Windows 7 I felt like it took less effort to move the cursor around and get it to stop where I want. Windows XP feels different to me, again it's difficult to describe. Am I crazy or does anyone know what I'm talking about? If so, is there a way to make it more like Windows 7?
