Windows 11 brought with it a host of new features and enhancements over its predecessors. However, with new systems often come new glitches, and a common issue some users may face is their text cursor turning white, becoming nearly invisible against light backgrounds. If you’re struggling with this problem, here are six best fixes you can try to get your cursor back to normal on Windows 11.

1. Change Cursor Color Settings

Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Text Cursor. Here, you will find the option to change the cursor’s color. Select a contrasting color that’s easily visible against all backgrounds.

2. Adjust Text Cursor Indicator

Still under the Text Cursor settings in Accessibility, you can turn on the text cursor indicator, which adds a colorful circle or background to the cursor, making it stand out.

3. Update Your Graphics Driver

A white cursor could indicate an issue with your graphics driver. Check for updates by opening Device Manager, expanding the ‘Display adapters’ section, right-clicking your graphics card, and selecting ‘Update driver.’

4. Change Theme Colors

Sometimes, the theme can affect cursor visibility. Right-click on your desktop, choose ‘Personalize,’ go to ‘Themes,’ and select a theme with a darker color palette.

5. Disable Mouse Pointer Trails

If pointer trails are turned on, they could be causing the issue. Go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options and uncheck ‘Display pointer trails.’

6. Check for Windows Updates

Finally, make sure your system is up-to-date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and clicking on ‘Check for updates.’ OccasionallyMicrosoft releases patches that could fix such glitches.

Remember to restart your computer after applying these changes to ensure they take effect properly.
