If you play a lot of first-person shooter games (FPS) and you struggle to hit your shots, you may have the "Enhance Pointer Precision" feature enabled. To stop your mouse sensitivity from changing inconsistently, you'll need to turn this feature off. Here's what Enhance Pointer Precision is and how to disable it on Windows 10 and 11.

What is Enhance Pointer Precision?

Enhance Pointer Precision changes your mouse sensitivity depending on how fast you move your mouse, which makes it harder to rely on muscle memory to land accurate shots. If you're gaming, consider disabling this feature.
