My PC keeps enabling Enhance Pointer Precision in mouse settings every time i start my PC

Hi,

I have win11 pro and deactivate Enhance Pointer Precision in my mouse settings, then click apply. It stays off for the rest of the session. However, everytime I start the computer it is activated again.

First I thought it was Logitech ghub software causing the problem, so I deactivatet the software on autostart. But Enhance Pointer Precision still activates itself everytime i start my PC.

I'm totally clueless on what to do, but one thing is for sure and that is that it's driving me crazy.

I have a Logitech G pro wireless mouse, if that helps.

I also went to settings > account > and unticked the "remember other windows settings" without any results.

EDIT: This might be the issue since I use corsair icue software for the rgb on my PC. Does any microsoft staff know if corsair actually is working on a fix for this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1af9lvf/mouse\_acceleration\_keeps\_turning\_itself\_on\_in/?rdt=36859

EDIT2: I did in fact have the version of icue that they discussen on reddit, and after checking it for updates I found a new version and installed it. Rebooted the system and the problem is solved!! Thank god

    🔔 Update on the Enhance Pointer Precision Issue:

    I encourage others facing similar challenges to try all the steps I’ve outlined, as they may help in resolving the issue—even if you don't have the problematic software I encountered.

    For those looking for a quick solution, please scroll up to the Resolution section to see the key fix first!

    I have been experiencing a persistent problem with the "Enhance Pointer Precision" setting on my computer, which automatically enables itself each time I boot up, despite my attempts to disable it.

    Steps Taken So Far:

    1. Checked Mouse Drivers:
      • Confirmed that I do not have "Corsair iCUE" software installed, which could control mouse settings.
    2. Disabled "Enhance Pointer Precision":
      • Accessed "Control Panel" and selected "Mouse".
      • In the "Pointer Options" tab, disabled "Enhance Pointer Precision" and clicked Apply and OK.
    3. Made Changes in Registry Editor:
      • Opened "Registry Editor" and navigated to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse.
      • Verified that the values for "MouseSpeed", "MouseThreshold1", and "MouseThreshold2" are all set to 0.
    4. Uninstalled SteelSeries and Logitech Software:
      • Removed the software for "SteelSeries" and "Logitech" to check for any conflicts that might cause the setting to enable itself.
    5. Checked for Software Conflicts:
      • Examined my system for other applications related to gaming or peripheral settings that could interfere with the mouse settings.
    6. Disabled Functionality in Accounts:
      • Turned off "Remember my apps" and "Remember my preferences" in "Accounts > Windows Backup", but this did not resolve the issue.
    7. Executed System Commands:
      • Ran sfc /scannow in "Command Prompt" to check and repair system files.
      • Also executed DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth for system repairs, but this did not help either.
    8. Configured System Restore:
      • Deleted the option to save previous changes in "System Restore", but again, this did not solve the problem.

    Resolution:

    After thorough investigation, I identified that the "X-Mouse Button Control" software was the cause of the issue. I accessed the settings in "X-Mouse Button Control" and disabled the "Enhance Pointer Precision" option, which resolved the problem.

    Conclusion:

    The issue with "Enhance Pointer Precision" automatically enabling itself at boot was linked to the "X-Mouse Button Control" application. Disabling this option in that software fixed the issue completely!!!

    Hi Jens,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

    It's great to hear that you were able to resolve the issue by updating the Corsair iCUE software. Software conflicts or outdated versions can sometimes cause such problems. If you encounter similar issues in the future, make sure to check for updates for all your peripheral and system software.

    I am experiencing an issue with the Enhance Pointer Precision setting on my computer. It automatically enables itself every time I boot up, regardless of my efforts to disable it.

    1. Checked Mouse Drivers:
      • Confirmed that I do not have Corsair iCUE software installed, which could control mouse settings.
    2. Disabled Enhance Pointer Precision:
      • Accessed Control Panel and selected Mouse.

    3. Made Changes in Registry Editor:

    4. Uninstalled SteelSeries and Logitech Software:

    5. Checked for Software Conflicts:
      • Examined my system for other applications related to gaming or peripheral settings that could interfere with the mouse settings.
    6. Disabled Functionality in Accounts:
      • Turned off Remember my apps and Remember my preferences in Accounts > Windows Backup, but this did not resolve the issue.

    8. Configured System Restore:
      • Deleted the option to save previous changes in System Restore, but again, this did not solve the problem.

    After completing all these steps, the problem remains unresolved. Enhance Pointer Precision continues to automatically enable itself each time I boot my computer. I do not have Corsair iCUE installed, and I have uninstalled the SteelSeries and Logitech software, yet the issue persists.

    I am out of ideas for further solutions and need your assistance to resolve this frustrating problem.

    Thank you for your help!
