This Mouse is Driving Me Crazy

I honestly can't tell you what is going on. My "pointer" has now decided it was going to be small and white. I tried changing it, and I thought I had, but it hasn't reverted back to the large white arrow that I am used to. I am not sure what caused this as I know I didn't.
I've tried unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in, that didn't work. It's hard to see what the mouse is hovering over.
This is driving me crazy!
Has anyone else experienced this?

Ask J.J. if something can be done, to change it back. He's good at things like this! I'll ask him for you:)

No need, I finally got it figured out. I knew to go to into the mouse menu, I just didn't think I had to restart my computer. I did that and now I can see the mouse again.

@kobesbuddy As am I. I even picked out a black cursor so that if it wants to go wonky again, atleast it will be easier to see.

I wonder why it just changed all of a sudden on its own? Glad you got it figured out though.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Did you run a virus or malware scan after you got the problem fixed?

I wondered the same thing. I haven't had any other trouble so I guess it might have been a fluke.

@Shellyann36 No, but only because I have safeguards that tell me when something phishy is going on.

I'm sorry but I agree with you it's crazy and I have never heard nor experience something like that before. Probably because I'm not using a mouse.

I got it figured out, thankfully. I'm glad I did as it would have slowed down my online time quite a bit otherwise.

I see you found out how to change it. You always have to restart before some changes work.

Yes. I know it makes sense that you have to restart the computer, but I guess I didn't think about it at the time. I was just frustrated with the mouse problem.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I know that this happens, it happened to me many times.

I feel like I didn't make that clear enough in my discussion, I guess.
I did go to that setting menu but it didn't seem to work. I rebooted my laptop and it finally changed it. Thank You though.

No mouse problems here. It's weird how tech devices will have a mind of their own sometimes.

Problems like that are so annoying. Fortunately, my mouse seems to be behaving itself.

It was so tiny and I couldn't see it. I did finally figure it out, thankfully.
