    Mouse pointer becomes large on hover on Windows 10 PC


    I'm repurposing a Windows 10 PC from an old user to a new user. The old user's profile was deleted, and a new one was created for the new user. I don't know what the old user did, but when hovering the mouse pointer over a link, it becomes a large finger pointing hand. I expect it to become a hand due to the settings, but I don't expect it to become big.I've looked through the mouse settings, pointer options, and ease of access settings. I can change what the pointer becomes when hovering, but I cannot find a setting that stops it from becoming big.Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Pointer Hovering

    Thanks for the feedback, Mike. To turn off the pointer or mouse hovering on your laptop, follow these steps:

    • In Cortana search, type in Mouse.
    • Click Mouse and Touchpad settings in the search result.
    • Turn off the Mouse Hover Switch.

    You may also look for Tap to Click and have it turned off. Here's how:

    • In Cortana search, type in Mouse.
    • Click Mouse and Touchpad settings in the search result.
    • Click Additional Mouse Options and select the Thinkpad tab.
    • Click Settings.
    • Under the General tab, uncheck Tap to Click option.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

  3. Windows 10 Pointer Hovering

    Thank you for the update, Mike. Let's look into the additional mouse options this time. Please navigate to
    Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional mouse options. Click the
    Pointer tab and make sure the Scheme is set to Windows Default (system scheme), and under
    Customize, Normal Select is selected. Verify also the settings under the
    Pointer Option tab.

    If everything is set to default and the pointer still hovering, then I suggest that you submit this issue in our Feedback Hub. Check out the link

    Send feedback to Microsoft with the Feedback Hub app
    for the steps.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards.
