Making the cursor larger or reversing the default color to black to make it more prominent on a white background is the main reason. Change mouse cursors for various built-in Windows 10 “themes” – functions like collections of cursors for regular operation, text selection, hyperlinks, etc. – pretty straightforward. Still, users can also customize individual images or install themed packages.
