Windows 11 Cursor & Splash screen still huge after Jul 2025 update

My W11 cursor and spash screen are still huge after the Jul 2025 update.  My computer is completely up-to-date.  My mouse size is set to the smallest.  The only way I can have a normal mouse size is to keep the magnifier turned on and set to 100%.  I would be most grateful for anyone's help with this issue.  :-)

    Outdated or corrupted display drivers can cause scaling issues:

    • Open Device Manager
    • Expand Display adapters
    • Right-click your graphics card > Update driver
    • Alternatively, uninstall the driver and reinstall the latest version from your GPU manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)

    Go to Settings > Display > Scale & layout.

    Ensure that "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" is set to 100% (not "Large" or "Medium").

    Try resetting the display scaling to recommended settings by clicking on the "Reset" button.
