What is your favourite custom cursors?
I love to customize every part of my computer, and I just finished my first custom build. I'd like to change the system sounds and cursor but I've learned from experience that places hosting these sorts of customizations are often filled with malware. What are some safe places to go to download Windows 10 system sounds and cursors?
Undertale cursors would be best
I found that custom profiles are set as 'Themes' and the referenced cursors only happen at save or reload.
To fix this: make a copy of the referenced cursors and paste them into the C:\Windows\Cursor folder to be called upon start up. Then re-find the cursors stored in that windows cursor location (default location themes look at - regardless if you change them manually)
The solution of copying custom cursors inside Windows\Cursor folder works. But I found that it also works if you copy them to other system folders outside Windows, like ProgramData. Finally, I found that the background problem is another.
Windows stores cursor configuration in Registry under key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Cursors
If your custom cursor file is located inside any folder under your profile, Windows rewrites its path using %UserProfile% variable. It seems that this is the offending part. If you go to that registry key and manually rewrite those full paths without using %UserProfile% variable, custom cursors will load normally at startup, wherever the files are located.
It’s still a bug, but at least it’s a cleaner workaround than copying files into Windows folders.
