Keep losing custom colored cursor on re-booting?

[flycaster]

Used Real World Cursor Editor (Download RealWorld Cursor Editor - free - latest version) to change the color of my cursor on the latest update of W10. I have the colored cursor file in Documents (Mycursor.cur). However, every time that the computer is closed and then re-booted, the cursor color and setting (Windows Inverted-extra-large) revert to a more standard setting and the color is black. In order to get the colored cursor back I have to: Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Mouse>Pointers. Also I am using a Logitech M570 mouse with Logitech Setpoint.

Have a look in Settings/accounts/sync my settings and see if Theme sharing is on. See if turning it off makes any difference, as it could be your roaming profile saved on MS servers has wrong settings and changes it back every time you login.

I had a similar problem with my desktop wallpaper, the server thought I have a 1080p screen, but I have 4k and it was reloading the old one on boot.

What version of win 10 are you as they have hidden control panel in the last 2 builds of Windows 10. It has been replaced by settings menus

Windows 10 (1709-16299.125)
How do I sign into W10using my MS account. Presently, I'm not signed in with my account and the buttons are inoperable.

so keyboard doesn't work at boot? that seems an odd reaction to changing the cursor?

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

perhaps run startup repair and see if it fixes the buttons?
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

It isn't the keyboard that is a problem, it is that the cursor doesn't doesn't remain as programmed (Large-inverted and orange in color) when computer is re-booted. The cursor reverts back to standard default setting

I was answering this post, what buttons don't work?

I assume the sync answer wasn't right?

Perhaps the best people to ask are the designers on their forum? http://www.rw-designer.com/forum/82

The reason I asked the above was because if I were to change any sync settings, I need to enter W10 with my MS account, which I believe I presently don't do

I was answering this post, what buttons don't work?
Settings>accounts>sync my settings
Sync Your Settings is OFF
Individual Sync Settings, all of them are OFF

I assume the sync answer wasn't right?

Thanks for the heads up, will do

oh, yeah, if you use a local account or one not tied to an email address, then it won't sync. That and having limited access to Cortana is one of the advantages of a local account

So, should I try to enter with an MS account and see if changing sync makes a difference? And, BTW, what are the advantages of not doing so? I don't use Cortana, anyway.

Its worth a try, I am not sure if it will help or not.

I don't think there are advantages to not syncing. Cortana may use less resources since it doesn't have as many features available compared to being attached to a Email address. I don't use it either
