    why do my custom mouse cursors/pointers keep resetting?


    I have custom mouse cursors set that match the theme of my PC (black and red), but every time I turn my computer on they reset back to the default cursors, and when I go into the mouse settings to change them back, it says that I still have them set to my custom profile. is there a way to fix this so I don't need to go into settings every time I load up?

    :)

  2. Mouse Pointer

    Hi,

    You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

    • Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
    • Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
    • Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
      Apply > OK.

    If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
    Browse.

    Update us if it addressed your issue.

    Mouse Pointers


    Hi there,

    Are you talking about a windows theme or a cursor theme/scheme?

    Keep in mind that custom cursors need to be saved in a scheme.
    Have you saved the cursor 'scheme' before saving a theme?

    A theme uses one or more wallpapers, sounds, icons, colors and a cursor scheme.
    Though I might not be entirely correct: separate cursors can be added in a theme; but creating a scheme first is always better.

    I recommend you check second post here:
    Custom Cursors - Windows 10 Forums

    And take a look at the tutorial:

    Cheers!

    Hi Jack,

    One of the factors why you're mouse pointer has disappeared is due to corrupted system files. To assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Are you pertaining to the cursor not being visible?
    • How were you able to go to the Device Manager?
    • Have you tried to customize pointer in Mouse settings?
