Cursor size starts going crazy

When changing screen scale

from Stardock Forums

With 2 displays (I don't think that matters, but included for completeness) and the Windows display scale set 100%, change it to 150% or 200% and watch the cursor constant change size with every movement. Closing CursorFX and reopening it solves the problem.

Do you by any chance have the Mouse Size set to anything higher than 1?

I have found that any setting higher than 1 can cause issues.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more.

  1. You on Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Please use Winver.exe.
  2. CursorFX version number installed.
  3. Does simply restart Explorer.exe help in resolving the issue? How to

Thank you,

Win 11 Pro 23H2 Build 22631.6199

CursorFX v4.03

Restarting Explorer does not fix the problem.

Perhaps something went wrong while installing. Please try, uninstall CursorFX, reboot immediately (important), download latest version available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Install it, reboot immediately again. Retest it and report back.

Thank you,

No no no. I'm not doing that. It worked fine until the last update. It seems to do that about every other update. Thanks for trying.

Thank you for clarifying. When you mention “last update,” do you mean a Windows update, a CursorFX update, or possibly another software update that might affect how CursorFX interacts with Windows? Sometimes changes to display drivers or display settings can also trigger issues like this.

If the problem were widespread, we’d expect to see multiple reports from other CursorFX users, but so far this seems isolated. That’s why the uninstall/reinstall step is our standard first approach, it helps reset the environment and rule out update‑related conflicts.

As a side note, I’m also running a dual‑display setup with one screen scaled to 150%, and I don’t see the same issue on my system.

Added note: I am on Windows 11 25H2 (OS Build 26200.9168) perhaps update your Windows 11 to latest Windows 11 official released version.

Thank you,

I meant last CursorFX update. Sorry about that.

I do find it odd that I'm still running Win 11 Pro 23H2 Build 22631.6199. Let me fix that, first.
