I tried all the suggestions here but none seem to work for me (after reboot/logout). Interesting that the "Budgie Desktop Settings" are 'honored' (change Style/Cursors/DMZ-Black|White) but Cursor Size don't seem to save. Other changes in both dconf-editor and Universal Access are visible, mostly immediately. This was a fresh install of 22.04, after having issues upgrading 21.10 to 22.04. Intel Video, not NVidia, no 3d Party/Secure Boot stuff.
