If you’re not happy with how this default setting is impacting your computer use, follow the steps below to turn it off.

If you’re still experiencing problems with your mouse, it might be that something else is going on. Sometimes cleaning a mouse can resolve a lot of issues but there are also other troubleshooting tips you can try when your mouse doesn’t seem to work properly.
How Enhance Pointer Precision Affects Mouse Acceleration
Enhance Pointer Precision automatically changes the speed at which your onscreen pointer moves based on the speed you are moving the mouse. In Windows 10, the Enhance Pointer Precision feature is set to control mouse acceleration by default. However, this automated speed calculation by Windows 10 can sometimes mean your pointer screams by something it shouldn’t or doesn’t get to something as quickly as you’d like. Gamers, in particular, can experience performance issues because of this feature even when using the best wireless mouse on the market. While you can slow your mouse down or speed it up using Windows 10 settings, the Enhance Pointer Precision feature can override those settings and still make using your mouse frustrating.
