Windows 10: [Request for help] Mouse settings cursor is unable to load - or display

Hi all,I forgot to backup the registry keys while attempting to swap cursors, and after restart - I find myself unable to load any of the cursors.I checked the mouse settings and found that all .cur and .ani can be "browsed" but cannot be seen.Is there a way to fix this without going for a clean Windows 11 install?Thanks for the assist in advance.

Mouse cursor displayed without offset

When the mouse cursor changes to one that should be displayed with an offset (e.g., the hand cursor should be displayed slightly to the left so that the tip of the finger matches the mouse position) it is not and instead is drawn with the same position as the default pointer.

This is not specific to any program. Hovering a link the web browser shows the hand cursor to the right of where it should be. The cross-hair pointer in paint is down and to the right of where it should be. The I-beam cursor for text selection is to the right in any text editor, etc. (oddly, Steps Recorder's screen shots show the cursor in the correct position, though it was wrong when the recording was in progress.) Only the arrow pointer where the tip is in the top-left and needs no offset is correct.

I've tried the following:

• Rebooted the computer
  
• Removed the mouse from device manager, then reconnected it on a different USB port
  
• Checked for windows updates, installed, and rebooted
  
• Changed the mouse pointer settings (speed, appearance, DPI, etc.)
  
• Installed the latest drivers for the graphics card and rebooted.
  

With no effect on the issue.
