If you look at the definition of the Cursor constructor[^], it says very clearly:
"The fileName parameter must reference a standard cursor (.cur) file."
You are passing a .ICO file instead. Try a cursor instead of an icon!

Solution 1

Try this:

C#

this.Cursor = new Cursor(@"C:\Cursor.cur");

Or:

C#

this.Cursor = Cursors.cursor;

But that isn't enough. You need to add this statement for all controls in your form.
