How To Change Your Mouse Cursor In Windows 10

This tutorial will walk through how to change the appearance of the mouse pointer, or mouse cursor, in Windows 10.

The mouse cursor is one of the pillars of modern user interface design. Even if you’ve transitioned to a tablet or touchscreen device like the many Windows 10 2-in-1s that have hit the market, sometimes you just need that reliable old cursor, especially in an operating system that still skews heavily toward the conventional desktop (i.e. Windows). But that doesn’t mean you have to stick with the default option. Users looking for different cursor colors and size, whether for better visibility or simply based on cosmetic preference, can follow our simple guide on how to change your mouse cursor in Windows.

Making the cursor bigger, or inverting default color to black to make it stand out more on a white background, are the primary reasons for doing this. Changing the cursors to a variety of built-in Windows 10 “themes” — which function as collections of cursors for normal operation, text selection, hyperlinks, etc. — is fairly easy, but users can also customize individual images or install themed packs.
