Windows 10: Windows 11, full screen magnifier, perfectly sharp then goes blurry when mouse moves down...

Hi,I have low vision, so I rely on the Magnifier function built into Windows 11. It is configured to the "full screen" mode; I don't use "lens mode" or the other modes. The magnifier is active all the time I use the computer.The magnified screen is pixel-perfect, nice and crisp, and sharp. Even if I magnify up to 500% or more. The screen looks great and everything is easy to see.There is a problem, though. If I happen to move the mouse down towards the bottom of the screen. When the taskbar comes into view suddenly the screen is no longer sharp, and everything becomes blurry. Then, as I

Why is Magnifier causing mouse lag on Windows 10 ?

Hi Cort,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to get clarity on this issue and assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. Are you facing this issue only with the browser?
   
2. What is the make and model number of your computer and the version of your Windows 10 computer? (To check the version of your Windows 10, you can refer
   See which version of Windows 10 you have).
   
3. What is the make and model number of the mouse?
   
4. Are you facing the same issue when out of Docked Mode?
   

You can use Magnifier in three different views: full screen,
lens, or docked. To change views, use the
Views menu on the Magnifier toolbar.

Docked view works on the desktop. In this view, Magnifier is anchored to your screen. As you move around the screen, parts of the screen are magnified in the docking area, even though the main part of the screen is unchanged.

I suggest you to check if you have the Docked view enabled by using the
Views menu on the Magnifier toolbar.

For reference, you may also Use Magnifier to make things on the screen
easier to see and check the settings for the magnifier.

Meanwhile, try the below methods and check if the issue persists.

Method 1:
Performing a Clean Boot.

I suggest you to put your computer in a
Clean Boot State and check if the mouse lag is still present while the
computer is in Clean Boot.

Note: A Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Your computer may
temporarily lose some functionality while in a clean boot environment, however, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after you have finished your troubleshooting.

If the Clean Boot works, then don't forget to place the computer to normal boot by going to
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting section in the Clean Boot link.

To determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot from the above Clean Boot article.

If the issue persists in Clean Boot, then follow Method 2.

Method 2:
Updating Graphics and Mouse Drivers.

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned in
Update drivers in Windows 10 and update the Graphics Card drivers as well the drivers
for the mouse as outdated graphics drivers might also cause this issue.

We’ll be waiting for your response.
