  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17711.1000]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

When I open Command Prompt (cmd.exe), the prompt opens with White cursor, But when I open Bash (bash.exe) it opens with Black cursor which is almost impossible to see.

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

The black cursor on Bash make it very difficult to see the cursor. If you can add an option to change cursor color that would be very helpful.
