If none of the above help, try changing the options to the opposite of
what you want, boot the computer, and then change them back to what you
really wanted and do a second boot.
There can be times where what Windows shows you how it is set is wrong.
The part that displays the setting is correct but the underlying
option itself is configured incorrectly due to some glitch or other. By
changing the option to something else, booting, and changing it back to
what it was the entire option gets put back into sync.
If that does not fix anything you have not lost anything but time.
Something else might be affecting the cursor, like 3rd party
mouse/keyboard software if you have any loaded. Many of them have
options similar to the Windows option or may try to change the actual
Windows option on you.
