What are the accessibility improvements in Windows 10?
Recently, we’ve made texts and pointers easier to customize in Windows 10. Millions of people prefer bigger texts and bigger, brighter pointers to make Windows 10 easier to see and use.
Perhaps not surprisingly, many low vision users asked us to continue to make working with text cursors easier. More specifically, we were told that text cursors are hard to find when they are too thin and don’t contrast enough with the text.

The text cursor is much more visible
To get started, you can and add a cursor indicator text by clicking the Turn on the indicator text cursor , then drag the slider below to make it as big as you want it as in the image below.
You can also choose a bright color for the indicator to make sure you don’t get lost.
If the indicator is too much for you, there is another option (described in step 3), to enlarge the normal cursor.
The magnifying glass follows your cursor
The Magnifier option now follows your mouse pointer, so you don’t have to search long for the pointer. The mouse pointer will now always be in the center of the screen.
