I&#8217;m not too clear when it was replaced, but I know it isn&#8217;t the default option.<\/p>\n<p>It started today when I turned on my laptop. I noticed something fishy about the normal arrow cursor, but paid it no mind until I had to load a file and noticed the hourglass. That was a little odd, as everything was normal yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>I went to this page,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160615015231\/https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/windows-7\/windows-7-spinning-circle-has-turned-into-an-hourglass\/15340.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wi&#8230;<\/a>\u00a0, to look for answers, and upon following all the steps, I noticed that in the cursor schemes section I lacked the Windows Aero System Scheme. Then again, I realize as I type this, I&#8217;m using Windows 10 and the steps may be different.<\/p>\n<p>The files have not been deleted, I think, because when I hit browse in Mouse Properties&gt;Pointers, I see the default icons.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is no scheme. If I select &#8220;None&#8221;, I get the hourglass. There is a &#8220;Use Default&#8221; button to the left of the browse button, but it is greyed out and does not work when I select it.<\/p>\n<p>I am kind of new to software issues, so any help would be appreciated. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":14},"question-category":[65],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5108","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-windows-10"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/5108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=5108"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=5108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
