The cursor and the display screen are the same color, with only a narrow line delineating the arrow. I spend too much time trying to find the cursor because it 'washes' in color with the display screen. Maybe it can be made larger, solid or different?

    Settings > Accessibility > Mouse pointer and touch

    Under "Mouse pointer style," choose a color option that contrasts with your screen

    Adjust the "Size" slider to make it larger

    Turn on "Mouse pointer trail" if you want a visual trail effect

    Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Mouse > Additional mouse settings | tab: Pointer Options > Visibility > Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL Key > OK/Apply
