Optional Windows 11 update fixes mouse cursor size problems

Ever since Microsoft released Windows 11 24H2 to the public last fall, users have been reporting all kinds of issues with the mouse cursor. Last year, the mouse cursor would disappear in text fields. Earlier this year, the mouse cursor got stuck in its loading animation. Those issues have been fixed, and now it’s time for another mouse cursor fix!

According to Windows Latest, July’s optional preview update KB5062660 fixes the problem with Windows 11’s mouse cursor suddenly changing sizes and appearing to be the wrong size than what’s set in Settings, which users (fairly) found annoying.

Microsoft hasn’t officially addressed the issue, but Windows Latest says the issue is fixed in the update. Update KB5062660 is optional for now, but will roll out to all users next month. If you want this bug fixed, you can manually install it via Windows Update or Microsoft’s Update Catalog.

Update KB5062660 also quietly fixed other issues, like hits to stability and performance caused by previous updates. Meanwhile, it’s the same update that officially kills the iconic Blue Screen of Death and introduces several new features and improvements. While Microsoft claims that Windows 11 24H2 is the most reliable version of Windows, frequent stumbles like this make many wary of the claim.
