    Is there a program that will put a red circle at my mouse pointer ?


    I know in the control panel I can activate the mouse option "Show location of pointer when I press CTRL..."

    But I want a big red arrow to appear, or red circle to appear at my mouse location.

    Is there a 3rd party app/program that will do that for me?
    (I am doing on-screen tutorials and this would be good to bring attention on screen to what I am talking about. Camtasia does this, but I just have OBS studio).


    Win10 v.1909

    edit: CursorFX comes close, but just not close enough.

    What is wrong with "Show location of pointer when I press CTRL..."? Is it not visible enough?

    your issue sounds more like a aesthetic one than a functioning one. Do you "really" need a "big red arrow"???
