There are a lot of things you can customize in Windows, and that holds true for the mouse cursor as well. You can change the color of your cursor, apply a different cursor scheme or even replace your cursor with a custom image.

If you want the option to natively change the way your cursor looks, you can do so from either the Settings app or the Control panel. You can also opt to use third-party applications to change the look of your mouse cursor.

From Settings

The simplest way tochange your mouse cursoris through the settings. You can choose from three different preset mouse pointer schemes; black, white, and an inverted scheme. You can also set a custom color of your choice for your mouse cursor.

From Control Panel

Another way you can change your mouse cursor from the Control Panel. It provides the same three system default cursor schemes.

Additionally, you can also apply a custom-made scheme to your mouse pointer. The custom scheme is very versatile, as you can change the individual look of different types of mouse cursors inside a scheme.
