In this new properties window select the Pointer Options tab. A properties window will open, which is also accessible from the Control Panel via Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse. “Pointer speed” from the Control Panel does the same job as “cursor speed” in the Windows 10 settings app.įrom the same screen in the Settings app, under “Related settings,” select Additional mouse options. There’s another setting that does exactly the same thing as the “Cursor speed” setting that you might be more familiar with. If that slider isn’t moved to the rightmost point then drag it up higher to increase the speed. At the top you’ll see a slider called Cursor speed. Open the Settings app by clicking the Windows Key + I or clicking the Start menu and selecting the settings cog icon on the left side. Max out the cursor speed on Windows 10 to speed up your mouse.
