Anybody getting this weird cursor in a black square instead of the normal one? See the 2 pictures below to compare. Second one is the normal one. 
Had to take pictures because the cursor does not show with snipping tool. 
This showed up in one machine and I don't see any way to change it.
Pretty annoying. 😝😵💫
Bad cursor:
Normal cursor should look like this below:

I think you reproduced the problem. Looks like a bug to me.
The size selected should not cause that black square. 🤷♂️
I'll try changing the size on the one that fails other than the sizes you mentioned. 😉
I set it to 4 and it is fine.
Thanks for the workaround, I will update the FBH report.
It may be related to the display adapter and driver. This one is an Intel UHD ARC.
By default it was set to size=1 in my case and I never changed it.
With size=1 I don't have that issue, neither with other sizes except the ones I mentioned (3, 7, 11, 15).
Weird, I have the same settings on all machines, and only one has the black square around the cursor.
What is the display adapter and driver?
By default it was set to size=1 in my case and I never changed it.
With size=1 I don't have that issue, neither with other sizes except the ones I mentioned (3, 7, 11, 15).
I did not change any size; It is the same settings that was always there. It only fails that way with 26080 build and none of the other builds.
I can check if any of those settings are different.
I don't understand how you got the black square around the Text Select icon?
My size was always set for 3, but never had the black square around the cursor. 🤷♂️
What I meant was the size in the Windows Settings App.
You can directly navigate to that page via WIN + R and execute ms-settings:easeofaccess-mousepointer
The size has a range of 1 to 15 (and 3, 7, 11 and 15 does apply the same background as in your case)
Example with size = 3:
