Refresh Mouse Pointer

Have you ever had an issue with your mouse pointer not showing up correctly, maybe it happens after you exit out of a game?

Try these steps!


  1. Click Window Icon, select Control Panel.
  2. Go to Appearance and Personalization, then go to Personalization.
  3. Click on "Change mouse pointers", a menu will pop-up.
  4. Make sure you are on the "Pointers" tab, then look for the "Scheme" section.
  5. Look in the drop down selection and change it to something else (It does not matter which one, as you will change it back, but remember what your scheme was beforehand)
  6. Click Apply.
  7. Go back to the drop down menu in "Scheme" and select the scheme you had before.
  8. Click Apply again.

Your pointer should be back to the way it was before it got all messed up and such.

Internet Connection Issue Involving A Network Bridge Connection

*Please Note, This Is For Advance Users, Ask If You Have Questions Or Don't Know What You're Doing*

-Goto Control Panel, Network & Internet, Network & Sharing Center, then click on ''Change adapter settings''.

-Look for your Network Bridge, and Disable it.

-Goto your taskbar and right click on your Internet Access icon on the bottom right, by the system clock, then use troubleshooter.

The troubleshooter will see the disabled adapter, and then it will re-enable it, but when it does that, your internet should work correctly, as the adapter just needs to be reset, but disabling and then re-enabling it yourself doesn't fix it for some unknown reason.

Highlighted Items Issue In Taskbar

*Please Note, This Is For Advance Users, Ask If You Have Questions Or Don't Know What You're Doing*

- Goto Task Manager, close both sidebar.exe and explorer.exe

- New task (run) both sidebar.exe and explorer.exe

This should fix the issue of highlighted item in your taskbar when your mouse isn't hovering over them, this will also fix the issue of only being able to hot key switch more than two tabs (Current and Previously viewed Tabs)
