Windows 10: Themes Problem in windows 10

Hello, I am having trouble with the personalized themes I create not retaining the selected cursors or Icons. It will keep the correct wallpaper settings, but does not change the cursors or icons to the ones I set for the theme in question. I have been trying to rebuild my personnel themes I have had since windows 98 onto windows 10. I am going in through the personalization section under settings and selecting the backgrounds, then I change the icons, and then I change the cursors. I then click the save theme and name it. When I go back to choose a different theme from the last one I worked on which is the current theme showing It changes the background but retains the icons and cursors from the last theme I created. If I go back through the list of themes I have created and check them they all use the last created icon and cursors. I have the box clicked allowing windows to change the icons and cursors. Is there a way for me to get windows to retain the icon and cursor choices for my themes or will I need to go with a third party app for that? If so this seems like a bit of laziness on microsoft's part since they have allowed users to change and retain these settings since windows 95 just using the windows app.

Thanks for any help or suggestions,

Stultis

Win-10 themes keep changing

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

• Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?

As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

• Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
• Select Theme and select the Default theme.
• Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
  and save it and check.

Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
