Windows 10 does not have mouse acceleration enabled by default. To ensure that you are getting the most accurate and responsive tracking possible, Microsoft has disabled acceleration as a system setting in Windows 10. Mouse acceleration is an effect where moving your mouse quickly will move the cursor further than if it were moved more slowly, which can make it difficult to accurately navigate the user interface or perform precision tasks such as playing games. Fortunately, if you find yourself wanting this feature back on Windows 10, there are ways to re-enable mouse acceleration using third party tools such as AutoHotkey or X-Mouse Button Control (XMBC). Those programs allow users to customize various aspects of their input devices and enable/disable pointer speed enhancement features without having to manually adjust settings within Windows itself. Ultimately though, disabling mouse acceleration is recommended for most users since its unpredictable nature makes it hard for anyone who isn’t already used to the behavior of accelerated cursors.
