Cursor changes appearance and position in Windows 10

Question

I've had this issue for a while and no amount of updating or rebooting seems to make it go away.

This is for a Lenovo flex 5 laptop with Windows 10 home.

Once in a while, for no reason that I can discern, the mouse pointer changes appearance, to a low-resolution version of a pointer with a blue circle above, as seen here :

The image of this cursor is also misplaced : while I can still use the mouse properly, the image of this cursor is about halfway further up the screen, making it difficult to know where the cursor physically is.

I have no clue as to the source of this bug and googling it is fairly difficult. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this issue?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with my Lenovo Yoga 700. The problem was related to the screen scale. By default was 150%, I changed to 125% and everything was solved, but any scale different from 150 seems to work.

Hope it helps you.
