Pointer size and color

Question

How can I change the mouse pointer size and color? I tried to do it through options in the Control Panel and Ease of Access Center, but none of the available options reduces the size or changes the color.

Hello JosephCardinali,

I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Have you tried going to the Ease of Access via Settings?

Press Start then click Settings(Gear icon)

Select Ease of Access > Mouse pointer on the left side

Under change pointer size, you can adjust the slider depending on your preference.

Under change pointer color, click the color wheel

select your mouse pointer color from the list

Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.

Answer 2

Hello John DeV,

This is exactly the help I was looking for. I tried to make the size and color change using the Control Panel > Mouse and Control Panel > Ease of Access areas, but the size and color options were not available there. You'd think from the perspective of user friendliness that the Ease of Access via Settings route would somehow be replicated and available from the Control Panel, but I guess that would be too simple.

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question, I truly appreciate the help.

Have a wonderful holiday season and stay safe.
