    Keep your custom cursor files (.cur, .ani) in a dedicated folder. When reinstalling Windows, you can run your script to restore the cursor scheme automatically.

    Open PowerShell with administrator privileges and run the following commands to batch change the cursor scheme to Windows Default:

    powershell Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Control Panel\Cursors\Schemes\| Select-Object -ExpandProperty (Default); Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\Control Panel\Cursors\ -Name "Scheme Source" -Value 1 -Name (Default) -Value Windows Default.
