Windows 10: How can I stop new windows from seizing the mouse pointer?

When downloading multiple files, my mouse cursor moves to the save window when it pops up, I can set the default download location, but I'd rather it not capture the mouse cursor, is there a way to prevent the save dialogue box from capturing the mouse cursor?

How can I stop new windows from seizing the mouse pointer?

I commit user errors almost every day, caused when a window pops up just as I'm about to click the mouse button in some other window. The new window seizes the mouse pointer and input, usually putting the mouse pointer right over some default button, usually
the worst one: "Cancel", and I click it before I can stop myself.

So it often happens that I throw away some set of computations that took a long time to produce, or a file I was editing gets thrown out because a popup dialog like "Save before exiting?" seized my mouse pointer, or (extremely common) I fail to delete a
file because a "Delete file? yes NO" dialog pops up while I'm clicking on something else. This last is especially common because I have several applications which take 10-20 seconds to pop up a "Really delete files?" dialog, so I go on to do other things
while waiting for the popup. I also have a voice-to-text program which I like to leave on to transcribe audio lectures, and I often come back and find that some window popped up and hijacked all the text output.

I want windows NOT to seize the mouse pointer whenever some new window opens. I want to control my mouse myself.

Anybody know a way to do this?

 

Mouse Pointer

Hi,

You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways in Windows. To change how your mouse pointer looks, you can follow the steps below:

• Right-click on the Start menu, then click Control Panel.
• Select Mouse, then go to the Pointers tab.
  
• Select the pointer you prefer from the drop-down list, click
  Apply > OK.

If you want to use a pointer that is not on the list, you can download it online. After that, go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointers tab again, then click
Browse.

Update us if it addressed your issue.

I use the Windows Black Extra Large

A suggestion:

Check the box next to automatically move the pointer to the default button
