Please add this function. It will enable so many people to study and work more effectively and successfully.
Please make functions like this, that are vital for people with disabilities, as standard in your programmes and software. They don't just make life easier they make accessibility possible.
Microsoft are a world leading brand. You set the standard for others to follow.
It's pretty poor when you weigh the decision of adding such a vital function on how many votes it gets.
How many votes do you need?
How many people do they need to ask to vote on their behalf before you will take their need seriously?
The cross hairs function affects a minority of people, many of whom quite possibly didn't get as far as voting because they lost the cursor. -

My partner is Deafblind and has to magnify his screen and invert the colours to see anything. Enlarging the cursor would save him eye strain and headaches. Why wouldn’t you want to make things easier for your customers?

I am deaf and my sight has been getting worse over the years. It’s not got to the point where sometimes I miss the mouse cursor and this idea would be so helpful for me! Please do the cross hair!

Hi, I work with a deafblind person (with 'tunnel' vision) regularly, and watch her really struggle at work because Microsoft haven't yet prioritised developing a full screen crosshair for Windows 10, a basic accessibility feature for people with visual impairments. Because of this she has to use ZoomText on her work PC, but then struggles because ZoomText slows the PC down so much that she has to work at home to catch up in her own time. If she has to hot desk it's even worse, as she spends ages trying to find the cursor on other work PCs. This puts her at a real disadvantage to her sighted colleagues. This is a much needed basic accessibility improvement that a company with the resources of Microsoft should be able to prioritise and get done speedily. Come on Microsoft, get it done already please.

This would be a very important feature for Windows 10 as it would help people with visual impairment see where their mouse is on the screen!

Please add this feature. It would make such a difference to so many people - those with partial sight, older people, even those like me with mild short sight

This feature won't just be a must-have feature for those with limited vision, or limited/restricted head movement, but an essential tool for us working on simulators with > room-scale screens (where the cursor is at nor near desktop size). We often have to park the cursor at a corner to be able to relocate it later on - this is not ideal when demonstrating to clients. I am happy to assist with the software / implementation side of this if necessary.

I have 2 members in my family with ushers, who would really benefit from full-screen crosshairs that track the mouse pointer. Please make this happen.

Dear Microsoft. Please help people like me who waste hours of their time searching for their vanished mouse. This issue made me so inefficient and contributed to such high levels of stress at work that I had to take early retirement. Even now that I am not working I find that using the computer is far more difficult than it needs to be. I am sure you have the wherewithal to sort this out. Please do it - it would make such a difference.

My son has nine visual impairments and really struggles to locate his cursor due to field loss. This would be a fantastic help. Presently he can only use Apple products because their accessibility is so much better
