    Hello,

    I'm aware of some problems with Nvidia graphic cards and Win10 cursor, but my case is different.
    I have a new HP Envy 13, and since the beginning (I already did some formats and restorations) the cursor icon is looking quite bad: it doesn't show any shadow or transparency, and it looks like 16 colors, with hard, jagged and noticeable edges. The rest of the graphics seems to look okay.

    Even my display was set by default to a 150% scale (and at that scale it was showing some scale problems with some icons -- Google drive taskbar icon, for example), I changed it to 100%. And, of course, I updated the graphics card driver (it's an Intel HD).

    I did an intensive search and couldn't find anyone else with this problem.
    Does somebody know what is causing this and how to fix it?

    Thank you!

    The weird thing is that I used HyperSnap to take a screenshot with the mouse, and in the screenshot it looks how it should: with smooth borders and so.
    So sorry for the bad quality, but the only way to take it was with my phone:
