Problems with mouse cursor Windows 10

[Jayinem]

When I boot computer the mouse cursor looks like it's corrupted and that's not even the worst part which is that you have to be below where the mouse cursor is what you want to click on a good amount just to click on it which can get very frustrating. The only fix that I know of is to type in mouse size and change the size which does fix it but it always happens again. I tried to take pics it won't show up on printscreen so I had to use my phone I think the cursor looks better in the pics than what I actually get but here is the pics anyway. Can anyone think of a way to fix this permanently?

Woah, first time I see something like that, everything looks normal instead of the mouse...

Well, I don't know much about Windows since it has been many years since I ever used it, but maybe you could try changing the cursor's skin and see how it does or changing the resolution to see if it looks worse on lower resolutions or it starts to look normal, if it gets fixed with worse resolutions the problem might be just the mouse texture, probably getting fixed by changing its skin or maybe rescaling it, if it keeps happening as you say, you could try automating a script that resizes your mouse everytime you boot, this isn't a good fix but it should work fine.

Additionally, you could check your graphics driver, it could be just that.

Also... If you are on a laptop, try disabling the touchpad? I can't explain why, but I remember my Windows cursor graphically misbehaving with weird mouse devices attached, in my case it was a graphical tablet, but maybe (if you even have one) your touchpad is dying and it makes your mouse to look like that.

Hope that helps! I see that you are on Windows 10, so you could try Linux or reinstalling Windows in dual boot and slowly transition if nothing fixes the issue, that would be what I would recommend doing, but I understand that you might not want to install an entire OS because of your mouse, but at least if you decide to try Linux, I could be much more helpful...

Does it still happen in safe mode?

Does it still happen in safe mode?

I'm running a bunch of autohotkey scripts at launch (like 70-80 different ones) and I figured out that one of them is causing it because it happens when they start to load which takes a little bit after boot, but I can't figure out which one. So it doesn't happen in safe mode at all. I actually came up with an autohotkey script that moves the mouse and types mouse cursor and changes the size which fixes it lol it'd be better not to have to do that but it's the only solution I've got.

Perhaps disable a bunch of them and slowly narrow it down to the culprit?
