There are browser extensions that can change mouse cursor color, size, and shape when using the Internet. However, these only work when you’re using an Internet browser. There are other options built into Windows that allow a user to change their cursor no matter what software is being used.

Changing the cursor appearance can help make it easier to see for you, the operator of the computer, and anyone to whom you are sharing your screen. It also comes in handy when making screen recordings.

To change the color and size of a cursor when using a computer running Window 10, click the Windows icon in the lower left-hand corner of the screen and go to Settings.

Then scroll to find Ease of Access.

Then select Cursor and Pointer.

From there, the slider can make the mouse arrow bigger. Another option is to select a new color for the mouse arrow and cursor, and make the cursor thicker and easier to see!
