Windows 10: Windows 10 Cursor Won't save Default Theme

OK, I know that this is a super minor complaint, but it bothers me, and it shouldn't be an issue in the first place. I just recently upgraded from 7 to 10, and since I've always used the (none) theme in the windows mouse settings, I wanted to use it again, as it's just what I'm used to and prefer. After installing Windows 10, I see that it's still there:


However, when I try to select it, it says that it's selected, but my mouse theme doesn't change; it's still the Windows 10 Default cursor. I even check the registry editor, and the registry values for the cursor scheme change, right to the exact same values you'd see on a win7 computer (I checked) using this mouse theme.



I know this is a really small and probably stupid thing, but I don't think it's an issue I should be having, and I'd like to use the cursor I want. What further complicates things is that the .cur files for the (none) theme have never been in C:\Windows\Cursors, not in Win7 nor in Win10, so I can't create a custom scheme with them either.

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.
