Windows 10: text cursor suddenly enlarged

I made no setting changes, but the text cursor has suddenly become a large, capitalized letter I. which obstructs the ability to read the text.Unable to correct it. Any advice?

Enlarged Cursor with new AMD 7790

Happens in R7 260X as well

I created an account just for this *Smile

Anyway, you guys will be happy to know that this happens on the R7 260X as well (which is basically a 7790). I got some parts to build a new PC yesterday and hit lots of rubbish issues with this enlarged cursor being one of them.

My setup:
Fresh install of Win7 Pro SP1

i7-4770S
Gigabyte B85M-D3H - Latest Bios (F08)
Sapphire R7 260X OC - Latest Beta Driver (13.11 Beta v9.2) though it happens in 13.10 WHQL as well
2x4GB Corsair DDR3 1600 in Dual Channel Mode
1080p TV on HDMI

My symptoms:
-Normal-sized mouse pointer on desktop
-Enlarged text select pointer when hovering over text fields
-Enlarged in-game mouse pointer in full-screen games

Experiments so far:
-Enabling cursor trails fixes the enlarged text select pointer on desktop but causes the mouse pointer to disappear in full-screen games
-Enabling cursor trails and running games in windowed-full-screen allows the in-game mouse pointer to appear normally and at the correct size (but I hate the fps penalty)

Not at home atm so I can't try more stuff. Definitely will try fiddling with older drivers and the mouse configurations as tezzatheman did.

 

Enlarged Cursor with new AMD 7790

Fixed it for me...

Hi,

Had exactly the same issue with an enlarged mouse cursor as others have described. Have a Samsung Syncmaster 2494HS connected over HDMI, and an old Dell monitor connected over DVI to the same Asus HD7790 Direct CU II OC. Running Win7 x64.

Updated to the latest 13.11 Beta from here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd_catalyst_13.11_betav1.exe

Still had exactly the same large mouse pointer issue. I then went into Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization and into Change Mouse Pointers, and then changed my Scheme to '(None)' and clicked apply. I then selected 'Windows Aero (system scheme)' and clicked Apply. I then clicked on the 'Use Default' button next to 'Enable Pointer Shadow', then turned off the 'Enable Pointer Shadow' and clicked apply. Then I turned on the 'Enable Pointer Shadow' and clicked apply.

At that point my mouse cursor went back to normal size! It's extremely weird that those steps described above fixed it, but they did. I haven't rebooted yet, but will try that next and see if it has permanently fixed the problem. Hopefully it has.

Posting the exact steps I took just in case it helps someone else out.

Cheers
