    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    I suggest you could try editing the following registry key to change the default cursor speed:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad\CursorSpeed

    Note that the valid range of values for the key is 0 to 20, with a default value of 10.

    For more details I suggest you could refer to the Doc: Modifying cursor speed Thank you.

    Jeanine
