The error arises when the mouse cursor is corrupt, or the Windows Display Driver Model WDDM is compromised.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, using your PC with a giant black box around your cursor can get annoying. Not only it ruins the experience, but it also causes inconvenience to a user. If you have encountered a similar situation, do not worry, as we might have a fix!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we will show you how to remove the black box on the mouse cursor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Working Methods to Remove Black Box Around Mouse Cursor on Windows<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The issue is not something that you come across regularly. A huge black box appears when the mouse cursor is in an uninvited situation for the user. There are two prime reasons why you may be facing the problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons, as mentioned earlier, is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.systweak.com\/blogs\/how-to-update-graphics-driver-on-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outdated graphics driver<\/a> of the PC. However, there is a massive chance that it has appeared due to a certain shift in cursor settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out a few ways below that can assist you in restoring your generic mouse cursor and help you get rid of the black box around it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 1 &#8211; Change the Mouse Pointer Display Scheme<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mouse pointer scheme may be causing the issue. Usually, while trying to customize the cursor, users change the settings, which often gives rise to issues like a black box around it. Either way, changing the mouse pointer display setting to basics can be a fix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Go to Windows search and type<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cpointer\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the search bar.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; This will give you two options, the first being the mouse pointer size, while the other being the option to change the mouse pointer display or speed setting. Choose the second one and open it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28898 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/change-the-mouse-pointer-display-or-speed-setting.webp\" alt=\"change the mouse pointer display or speed setting\" width=\"950\" height=\"599\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; In the popped-up window, navigate to the Pointers tab to find the scheme settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28899 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Pointer-tab-in-mouse-properties.webp\" alt=\"Pointer tab in mouse properties\" width=\"521\" height=\"545\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; Click on the Scheme in use to see a dropdown with several options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28900 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/see-dropdown-with-several-options-in-scheme-selection.webp\" alt=\"see drop down with several options in scheme selection\" width=\"521\" height=\"556\" sizes=\"(max-width: 521px) 100vw, 521px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5 &#8211; Now, since you are experiencing the black box error in the system scheme, it may have gone corrupt. Hence, choosing the (None) option is the best thing you can do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the changes and click on Apply to save them. Give your PC a refresh, and you may see that the black box on the mouse cursor has disappeared.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 2 &#8211; Try Changing the Pointer Size<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is quite possible that the black box has appeared out of a glitch in the system. Playing around with the basic settings of your mouse pointer might help you refresh it and eliminate the glitch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1 &#8211; Go to system settings on your computer. You can use the Windows + I shortcut to do so or search for settings in the start menu search.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2 &#8211; From the settings menu, use the left panel to open the Accessibility option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28901 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/open-system-setting.webp\" alt=\"open system setting\" width=\"477\" height=\"654\" sizes=\"(max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3 &#8211; In Accessibility, scroll down to find \u2018Mouse\u2019 as an option under the Interaction category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28902 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Interaction-category.webp\" alt=\"Interaction category\" width=\"1296\" height=\"429\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1296px) 100vw, 1296px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4 &#8211; In the Mouse settings, you can find a dedicated option related to the \u2018Mouse pointer\u2019.

The first technique to fix the black box around the mouse cursor is to update the graphics driver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, such spots on the display result from outdated graphics driver definitions. Hence updating it might help you well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, updating drivers is not an easy task. Especially if you are a newbie or unfamiliar with the technicalities of doing the same.
