    Why is it under Accessibility?

    Settings that help you see, hear, or interact with your screen more easily are organized inside Accessibility.

  3. 3

    Drag the Size slider to the right until the arrow is easy to track on your screen. Your mouse cursor immediately expands to the chosen size in real time as you drag the slider.

  4. It looks different on my screen

    On Windows 10, open Settings, select Ease of Access, click Mouse pointer in the left list, and use the Change pointer size slider.
