mouse settings does not stay permanent

[haifisch]

Hello everyone,

 

This is driving me crazy! I recently upgraded to windows 10. Long story short, night shift(among a lot of other things) is buggy, so I returned to using f.lux as I did on windows 7. With f.lux, the mouse cursor doesn't change it's color unless you set mouse trails on. So I set mouse pointer trails on. I can live with that, no problem.

But after every restart, windows 10 seems to be resetting my mouse setting from mouse trails on to mouse trails off. Why does windows 10 do that? I don't feel like windows 10 should reset my mouse settings... Have you guys experienced something like this? Is there a solution?

I found on the internet many people advising to update mouse/trackpad drivers or uninstall 3rd party mouse drivers, but I have a desktop computer and a very generic old fujitsu usb mouse with windows default drivers. And I also don't think that this could even be driver related. It's just a basic setting like the desktop background.

 

Thank you for your help in advance

Everything indicates that you have another or a set of background programs that changes things.

I would either look into it, or clean install Windows 10 and start fresh.

 

Cursor in Windows is rendered (unless trail feature is enabled) from a different non-accessible layer. So Windows Night Light and F.Lux can't color it.

This is a fresh install  Maybe let's just write a logon script to enable mouse trails? Would be overkill
