Agreed.

I've updated my post with results from two other computers.
I'll be interested in seeing what values GugaJedi has.

All the best,

Step 12 in option 2 below can help give a better understanding of the UserPreferencesMask value.

Change Visual Effects Settings in Windows 10

Thanks.
I'll use it to find out what the unintended difference between my computers is.

All the best,

Hi guys!

Looks like the settings in the registry doesn't change when I change the option from enable to disabled and vice-versa.

Hello,

Just to confirm, did you refresh or close and reopen Registry Editor after making the changes? It doesn't always refresh automatically.

Yes, as Brink says, you need to use the View menu, Refresh to see changes.

And you also need to look in the correct registry key, which you are not doing at the moment.
See my post #6


All the best,

Turn On or Off Show Pointer Location when Press CTRL Key - ElevenForumTutorials

It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
- You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of ElevenForum webpages does automatically]

For MSOffice problems search in and, if necessary, create threads in the TenForums MSOffice section [ElevenForum does not have one].

The problem for me wasn't that default windows configuration... The problema was a feature in PowerToys, that have it's own option to locate the mouse pointer... and it's by default enabled...

Then tell somebody in ElevenForum not here.

I'm on my Win11 now and the key feature is not enabled on my Desktop. For some reason my screenshot won't show here but does in Preview.
