  1. Is there a way to make the cursor appear black and not white when I hover over a new word?


    Cursor goes white every SINGLE time. Is there a way I can prevent this? I even went to my settings and unlick hide cursor and nothing happens. I have cleared out my cache and my computer is up to date to latest update. It is really annoying me. It does this to me every single time!!!! I am about to throw out my computer and get a brand new one.

    :)

  2. Text select pointer goes completely white colored when hovering over black text with a white background.

    Hello, a couple of days ago, windows updates installed a new AMD display driver. Since then, the text select pointer has been going completely white colored when I hover over black text with a white background (This happens on all websites and on both Edge & Chrome, so it seems like a driver issue) and then it becomes extremely hard to tell where the mouse pointer is, because the white color blends well with the white background. However, if I move the mouse pointer a bit and also click 1 time, the text select cursor goes back to being black colored (which is what it is supposed to be when it is hovering over black text)

    Some notes:

    • The machine is a Lenovo laptop.
    • OS: Windows 11
    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics 2.10 GHz
    • RAM: 8GB
    • The new driver version with the issue: 31.0.12016.9
    • I clean installed windows 11 today and the issue still persists.
    • Before I clean installed windows 11, I rolled back to the previous driver using Device Manager, and that fixed the issue.

  3. Cursor randomly turns black and has weird white rectangle above it after getting new monitor

    I got a new 1440p monitor recently and ever since I got it my cursor will randomly turn black and also have a weird black and white spotted rectangle appear above it attached to the tip of the cursor. I tried looking it up online, but all I got were results about a black screen with only a cursor. What is happening to my cursor and how can i fix it?

  4. Is there a way to make the cursor appear black and not white when I hover over a new word?

    Text cursor keeps turning white on random occasions while hovering text inputs after recent update

    After a recent update the text cursor keeps turning white on random occasions while hovering text input fields. This happens both in Chrome and Edge. This doesn't affect Word or other applications. It seems to be happening only in browsers.

    It's very annoying, please help me.
