The cursor in 7.5 is fine

Stringray

I did not change the hyper threading threading setting for the cursor , i was just optimising my Daw and just by share luck this rectified my flickering cursor .
As you say every motherboard is different ,it could of been a graphics related issue ,all i know is it’s now as it was in C5 but still with the white masking .
You haven’t supplied any system spec so it might not be relevant to your setup .

The board im using is the P8z77v pro thundredbolt .
